A male patient presented to the clinic with persistent hiccups and the complaint of subacute low back pain. Subsequently, he was administered a transforaminal epidural betamethasone injection (TFESI) plus lidocaine and developed persistent hiccups thereafter, which lasted for 6 days and subsided spontaneously. He presented with similar complaints again 5 months later and was administered TFESI, this time along with betamethasone and saline. Yet, he once again developed persistent hiccups, which this time lasted for 7 days and subsided spontaneously. This case report, featuring a patient who was administered TFESI due to subacute low back pain and subsequently developed persistent hiccups as a rare complication, aims to contribute to the literature in the relevant area of specialization.
一位男性患者因持续性呃逆和亚急性腰痛到诊所就诊。随后，他接受了经椎间孔硬膜外倍他米松注射（TFESI）加利多卡因治疗，此后出现持续性呃逆，持续 6 天，自行缓解。5 个月后，他再次出现类似的症状，接受了 TFESI 治疗，这次同时使用了倍他米松和生理盐水。然而，他再次出现持续性呃逆，这次持续了 7 天，自行缓解。本病例报告介绍了一位因亚急性腰痛接受 TFESI 治疗的患者，随后出现罕见并发症持续性呃逆，旨在为相关专业领域的文献做出贡献。
