Amaç: Çölyak hastalığı bir çok nörolojik hastalık ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Çölyak hastalığı ve eşlik eden nörolojik semptomları olan 16 farklı hastayı sunuyoruz. Bu yazıda, Çölyak hastalığının nörolojik yüzüne dikkat çekmek için güncel literatür ışığında Çölyak hastalığının genel nörolojik özelliklerini tartışmayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemizde 2010-2012 yılları arasında Çölyak hastalığı tanısı almış tüm hastaların tıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Onaltı olgunun dokuzu kız iken yedisi erkek olup yaş ortalamaları 10.34±3.76 yıl idi (5-16 yıl). Çölyak hastalığı olan bu 16 çocukta nörolojik problem olarak epilepsi (n=10), mental retardasyon (n=9), ataksi (n=3), nöropati (n=1), baş ağrısı (n=2), febril konvülziyon (n=1) ve nörofibromatoz tip 1 (n=1) rapor edildi.Sonuç: Çölyak hastalığı birçok farklı nörolojik duruma eşlik edebilir. Anemi, boy kısalığı ve kronik gastrointestinal semptomlar nörolojik hastalığı olan hastalarda maskelenebilir ve çölyak hastalığı tanısını geçiktirebilir.

Celiac Disease and Associated Neurological Conditions

Öz

Objective: Celiac disease has been associated with many neurological disorders. In this report, we discuss 16 patients with both celiac disease and neurological symptoms and evaluate the overall neurological features of celiac disease in the light of the current literature to emphasize the neurological aspects of celiac disease.Material and Methods: The medical records of all patients diagnosed with celiac disease between 2010 and 2012 were reviewed.Results: Nine of these 16 cases were female while seven were male with a mean age of 10.34±3.76 years (5-16 years). The reported neurological problems of these 16 children with celiac disease were epilepsy (n=10), mental retardation (n=9), ataxia (n=3), neuropathy (n=1), headache (n=2), febrile seizure (n=1), and neurofi bromatosis type 1 (plus headache) (n=1). Conclusion: Celiac disease may accompany many different neurological conditions. These disorders can share some symptoms such as associated anemia, short stature, and chronic gastrointestinal complaints and the diagnosis of celiac disease may be delayed among patients with neurological disease
