Epidural steroid injections are commonly used to treat lumbosacral radicular and discogenic pain. When used in this manner, these agents can cause minor, transient systemic side effects and rarely result in any serious complications. Because adverse reactions are uncommon and transient, epidural injections are considered a safe therapeutic intervention. We describe the first case of persistent hiccups as a consequence of a thoracic epidural steroid injection in a patient with thoracic discogenic pain.
硬膜外类固醇注射常用于治疗腰骶部神经根性疼痛和椎间盘源性疼痛。以这种方式使用时，这些药物会引起轻微、短暂的全身副作用，很少导致任何严重并发症。由于不良反应不常见且短暂，硬膜外注射被认为是一种安全的治疗干预措施。我们描述了首例因胸段椎间盘源性疼痛患者接受胸段硬膜外类固醇注射而导致持续性呃逆的病例。
