A diagnostic challenge of Parkinson's disease: Intractable hiccups.

Baskent University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Neurology, Fevzi Cakmak Cad 10, Sok No. 45, 06490, Bahcelievler, Ankara, Turkey.

Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder and the diagnosis depends mostly on clinical assessment so it is important to be aware of less common symptoms of the disease for correct diagnosis and therapy. We describe a patient with intractable hiccups as a very unusual presentation of Parkinson's disease.
