Celiac disease presenting with extraintestinal manifestations

Çölyak hastalığı çoklu organ tutulumu gösteren, sıklıkla barsakları etkilemekle birlikte, diğer organları da etkileyebilen bir hastalıktır. Mide-barsak semptomları olan Çölyak hastalarının %10 kadarında açıklanamayan nörolojik belirtiler bulunur. Bu yazıda demir eksikliği anemisi, periferik nöropati, ve yürüme ve konuşma bozuklukları için araştırılırken sonuç olarak Çölyak hastalığı tanısı alan bir olgu sunulmaktadır.

Barsak dışı belirtiler ile başvuran Çöliak hastası

Celiac disease (CD) is a multiorgan involved systemic disease that most commonly affects the gut but also affects other organs. Up to 10% of patients with CD and gastrointestinal symptoms have otherwise unexplained neurological presentations. In this paper we report a case with the final diagnosis of celiac disease while being investigated for the underlying etiology of iron deficient anemia, peripheral neuropathy, and gait and speech disturbances.
