Abstract
Absence seizures are one of the features of idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE) and occur as component of many different syndromes. They are commonly associated with various clinical features such as mild clonic components, change in postural tone, automatisms and autonomic phenomena. Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is the prototype IGE with typical absence seizures. We report a child who had prominent ictal hiccups during an absence seizure, and discuss the possible mechanisms.
