Abstract

<p>An 80–year–old man was admitted to our hospital associated with impaired consciousness with untraumatic left acute subdural hematoma. The acute subdural hematoma was removed by craniotomy. After surgery, he became in a state of prolonged impaired consciousness and accompanied by persistent hiccups. While tube feeding was administered for nutritional management, sakuyakukanzoto (7.5 g/day) was administered for persistent hiccups. The fre­quency of hiccups immediately decreased by administration of shakuyaku­kanzoto, and on the third day of its administration, the hiccups disappeared, and the administration of shakuyakukanzoto was stopped. Even when the administration of shakuyakukanzoto was discontinued, recurrence of stut­tering was nothing. These findings suggest that sakuyakukanzoto should be effective for persistent hiccups after acute subdural hematoma surgery.</p>
