A patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) who developed intractable hiccups and syncope due to a cervical cord lesion is reported. Previous case reports of intractable hiccups occurring in MS have all been located in the medulla oblongata. Our patient is the first case with the responsible lesion in the cervical cord. The pathophysiological mechanism of the syncopal attacks in this case were thought to be same as that of cough syncope.
本文报道了一名患有多发性硬化症（MS）的患者，该患者因颈髓病变出现顽固性呃逆和晕厥。既往关于MS患者出现顽固性呃逆的病例报告均病变位于延髓。我们的患者是首例病变位于颈髓的病例。该病例中晕厥发作的病理生理机制被认为与咳嗽性晕厥相同。
