An Unusual Hiccup: Severe Singultus as a Symptom in Ulcerative Colitis. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Inflammatory bowel disease encompasses a group of chronic inflammatory conditions associated with both intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. We present a 26-year-old man with a history of ulcerative colitis who presented with a disease exacerbation associated with severe intractable hiccups. We report a unique clinical symptom associated with severe ulcerative colitis and the diagnostic dilemma associated with this presentation. This case highlights the importance of recognizing unusual symptoms that can be associated with inflammatory bowel disease exacerbations and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of effective therapy of the underlying inflammatory disease.
