Abstract
Hiccups are the products of simultaneous involuntary spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm and glottic closure, resulting in the failure of air to enter the trachea. Multiple causes have been attributed to the etiology of hiccups, including drugs. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-related hiccups are rarely reported in the available literature. Hereby, we present a 10-year-old girl with obsessive-compulsive disorder who developed persistent hiccups with sertraline treatment.
