ABSTRACT
Background:
Celiac disease (CD) is predominant in women and young people. Atypical, non-enteric symptoms are more common among adults. There is also an association between CD and neurological disorders, especially with cerebellar ataxia, polyneuropathy and epilepsy.Aim:
To study the frequency of CD in a group of adults with cryptogenic epilepsy. Material andMethods:
Twenty one patients with cryptogenic epilepsy, aged 20 to 65years (14 women) were studied, measuring IgA-anti transglutaminase antibodies and deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) IgG and IgA antibodies.Results:
One patient had elevated titers of both types of antibodies. Small bowel biopsy showed villous atrophy and lymphocytic infiltration compatible with CD.Conclusions:
One of 21 adult patients with cryptogenic epilepsy had a silent CD.
