[Hiccup caused by epigastric compression in a hemiplegic patient].
The authors report the case of a patient with permanent, refractory hiccup, resistant at all classical treatment methods. Hiccup was due to compression of the epigastric region by the left fist of the patient immobilised by a spastic hemiplegia. Passive mobilisation of the diseased upper limb resulted in the disappearance of hiccup.
