“…Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated autoantibodies such as anti-tissue transglutaminase (TTG), antiendomysium and antireticulin in epileptic patients [13,16,17]. Calcium and magnesium deficiency, genetic factors and drug malabsorption, oxidative stress and free radical reposition were included in other elucidations [2,18].…”

“…We found this rate as 7.7% in our study, however we did not observe convulsions in any of our patients. Epilepsy associated with CD may be focal (mostly occipital) or generalized 16 . In our study, we determined that 4 patients with focal and 1 patient with generalized EEG findings.…”

“…Those patients consisted of 4 females (3 typical, 1 atypical) and one male (atypical), and all were older than 14 years of age except one newly diagnosed one. Use of antiepileptic drugs together with gluten-free diet may decrease frequency of epileptic attacks 4,5,16 . On the other hand, it was reported that EEG abnormalities improved in a child only with gluten-free diet after 6 months 15 .…”

We aimed to provide early diagnosis by determining possible Celiac disease related subclinical or symptomatic neurological abnormalities in children in order to decrease risk of mortality and morbidity.Children with Celiac disease were assessed with neurological examination, neurophysiological tests and neuroimaging.A total of 65 patients were included in the study. The neurological examination was abnormal in 4 patients. There were EEG abnormalities in 5 patients, VEP was abnormal in 7 patients, BAER was abnormal in 1 patient, ENMG was abnormal in 8 patients, and there were abnormal findings on neuroimaging in 2 patients.The Celiac disease related neurological complications that manifest in adulthood usually lay their foundations in childhood. Therefore, it must be kept in mind that subclinical neurological abnormalities may be related to Celiac disease, and Celiac disease may be the underlying cause in the patients with overt neurological abnormalities in childhood.

“…The only study that attempted to look at the prevalence of GRD in well characterised subgroups of patients with epilepsy found a significant association between AGA and temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (Paltola et al, 2009). Of interest are some case reports on patients with CD and epilepsy whose epilepsy improves following the introduction of gluten-free diet (Mavroudi et al, 2005;Harper et al, 2007).…”

The term Gluten Related Disorders (GRD) denotes a spectrum of diverse immune mediated diseases triggered by the ingestion of gluten (protein found in wheat, barley and rye). Coeliac disease (CD) or gluten sensitive enteropathy is the most recognised and studied entity within GRD.Extraintestinal manifestations, are gaining recognition and are increasingly the subject of further studies as they may hold the key to unravelling the pathophysiology of GRD. Such manifestations include skin involvement in the form of dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and neurological dysfunction (eg gluten ataxia and gluten neuropathy). Furthermore the recent concept of extraintestinal manifestations without enteropathy (termed Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity-NCGS) has become accepted as part of the same spectrum. In this chapter we review the neurological manifestations in GRD, discuss recent advances in diagnosis, and possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
