Abstract: We report a 50-year-old man with celiac disease who presented with occipital epilepsy. Brain MRI showed right occipital subcortical white matter hyperintensities, consistent with the posterior epileptic focus suggested by the clinical features of the seizures and documented on EEG. Shortly after the introduction of gluten free diet the white matter abnormalities resolved. The patient went on to develop simultagnosia. Follow-up MRI showed right occipital lobe atrophy. This report emphasizes the importance of re… Show more

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide. Although its main impact often concerns the small intestine, resulting in villous atrophy and nutrient malabsorption, it can also cause systemic manifestations, particularly when undiagnosed or left untreated. Here, attention is paid to the possible psychological, psychiatric, and organic brain manifestations of celiac disease. Specific topics related to the influence and risk of such manifestations with respect to celiac disease are defined and discussed. Overall, eighteen main topics are considered, sifted from over 500 references. The most often studied topics were found to be the effect on quality of life, organic brain dysfunction and ataxia, epilepsy, Down syndrome, generalized psychological disorders, eating dysfunction, depression, and schizophrenia. For most every topic, although many studies report a connection to celiac disease, there are often one or more contrary studies and opinions. A bibliographic analysis of the cited articles was also done. There has been a sharp increase in interest in this research since 1990. Recently published articles tend to receive more referencing, up to as many as 15 citations per year, suggesting an increasing impact of the topics. The number of manuscript pages per article has also tended to increase, up to as many as 12 pages. The impact factor of the publishing journal has remained level over the years. This compendium may be useful in developing a consensus regarding psychological, psychiatric, and organic brain manifestations that can occur in celiac disease, and for determining the best direction for ongoing research focus.
