Persistent hiccup reflex activation as a complication of dental implant surgery: a case report

“…Although uncommon, it has already been reported that oral surgery procedures may be potentially complicated by persistent hiccup [ 6 , 7 ]. We hypothesized that the hiccup affecting our patient could have been generated by the stimulation of peripheral receptors projecting to the intermediate part of the spinal tract nucleus of the fifth cranial nerve, leading to the activation of fibers belonging to the phrenic nucleus and the nucleus ambiguous [ 1 ].…”
