Abstract：
Although hiccups are regularly self-limited and rarely life-threatening, prolonged hiccups are bothersome, which can significantly decrease the quality of life. Here, we report a case of persistent hiccups coexisting with an enlarging liver cyst situated just below the diaphragm in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). No other underlying etiologies related to the symptoms were suspected. The cyst was difficult to drain surgically and the patient continued with symptomatic treatment. Although rare, hepatic cysts should be considered a potential cause of prolonged hiccups in patients with ADPKD. We emphasize the significance of systematically excluding potential etiologies that cause prolonged hiccups and considering appropriate therapeutic interventions.
摘要：
虽然打嗝经常是自限的，很少危及生命，长时间打嗝很麻烦,这会显著降低生活质量。这里,我们报告了1例常染色体显性遗传多囊肾病（ADPKD）患者的持续性打嗝并伴有位于膈下的扩大的肝囊肿。没有怀疑与症状相关的其他潜在病因。囊肿难以手术引流，患者继续对症治疗。虽然罕见，肝囊肿应被认为是ADPKD患者长时间打嗝的潜在原因.我们强调系统地排除导致长时间打嗝的潜在病因并考虑适当的治疗干预措施的重要性。
