Abstract

Celiac crisis is a life-threatening condition in which patients have profuse diarrhea and severe metabolic disturbances. Refractory Celiac Disease (RCD) is a rare condition defined as persistence of symptoms despite being on Gluten Free Diet (GFD) for 6 months. Neurological involvement in Celiac Disease (CD) is seen in around 8 - 10% of adult patients; however, it is rare in children. Herein we present a case of an adolescent presenting with neurological symptoms and celiac crisis and diagnosed as RCD, type 1. He was treated with high dose steroids. This case underscores the need to consider RCD in patients presenting in celiac crisis and showing no improvement on GFD.
