Opinion statementPeripheral neuropathy (PN) is one of the most frequently reported neurologic manifestations associated with celiac disease (CD), a multigenetic, T-cell-mediated autoimmune disorder that results from a loss of tolerance to gluten. Sensory axonal and small fiber sensory polyneuropathies are the most frequently reported PN subtypes. Multifocal motor or sensorimotor neuropathies and a more fulminant neuropathy, associated with ataxia and other neurologic manifestations, also have…

Acrodystrophic axonal polyneuropathy with celiac disease: a case report
TLDR
A 41-year-old Ukrainian male suffered from symmetric, sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy and encephalopathy associated with celiac disease, which is characterized by severe trophic disorders in the lower extremities (trophic ulcers, hyperkeratosis, and anhidrosis).
Neurological complications of celiac disease and autoimmune mechanisms: A prospective study
Neuropsychiatric Features of Celiac Disease
TLDR
The findings on cognitive functioning in CD have revolved largely around anecdotal reports and small clinical trials totaling approximately 200 patients of varying ages, and larger, well-controlled studies are needed in order to form optimal diagnosis and implementation of specific support measures for individuals living with CD across the lifespan.
Neurophysiology of the “Celiac Brain”: Disentangling Gut-Brain Connections
TLDR
The evidence examined here seems to converge on an overall profile of “hyperexcitable celiac brain,” which partially recovers after institution of a gluten-free diet (GFD), and neurophysiology could contribute to the diagnosis, assessment, and monitoring of a potentially underlying CD.
Adult celiac disease with acetylcholine receptor antibody positive myasthenia gravis.
TLDR
The presence of motor weakness in celiac disease may be a clue to occult myasthenia gravis, even in the absence of intestinal symptoms, in a 40-year-old competitive strongman with Celiac disease.
Celiac disease presenting with motor neuropathy: Effect of gluten free‐diet
TLDR
In both patients with celiac disease a gluten‐free diet induced a significant improvement of muscle strength and neurophysiological abnormalities, suggesting a direct pathogenetic role of sensitivity to gluten.
Clinical Manifestations of Celiac Disease
TLDR
There has been a progressive change in the clinical manifestations over the recent decades with fewer patients, both adults and children, presenting with a diarrheal, classical form, and the bulk of those with CD remain undiagnosed.
Celiac sprue (the great modern-day imposter)
TLDR
The heterogeneity of the symptoms can make the diagnosis challenging and certainly the great modern-day imposter makes celiac disease the great today's imposter.
Celiac Disease : Clinical Perspective
TLDR
There has been a progressive change in the clinical manifestations over the recent decades with fewer patients, both adults and children, presenting with a diarrheal, classical form, but the bulk of those with CD remain undiagnosed.
Gluten ataxia is better classified as non-celiac gluten sensitivity than as celiac disease: a comparative clinical study
TLDR
GA patients are better classified within the NCGS group, than within CD, and the other gluten sensitivity-related characteristics measured were different to CD patients, but very close to NCGS.

[Celiac disease in adults revealed by sensory-motor neuropathy].
TLDR
A 65-year old woman with a right peroneal nerve palsy superimposed on a diffuse peripheral neuropathy who was found to have folic acid deficiency which led to the diagnosis of adult celiac disease is observed.
Small-fiber neuropathy/neuronopathy associated with celiac disease: skin biopsy findings.
TLDR
The pattern of symptoms, with frequent facial involvement and a non-length-dependent pattern on skin biopsy findings, suggests a sensory ganglionopathy or an immune-mediated neuropathy in patients with CD.
Cerebellar ataxia associated with subclinical celiac disease responding to gluten-free diet.
TLDR
Clinical and electrophysiologic improvement in a patient with ataxia and peripheral neuropathy associated with subclinical CD after 2 years of a gluten-free diet is described.
Recurrent peripheral neuropathy in a girl with celiac disease
TLDR
A 12 year old girl affected by celiac disease, who on two separate occasions presented with an acute peripheral neurological syndrome after accidental reintroduction of gluten in her diet, is reported on.
Neuromuscular disorder as a presenting feature of coeliac disease
TLDR
This represents the first report of inclusion body myositis and neuromyotonia associated with coeliac disease and should be considered in all patients with neuromuscular disease of otherwise obscure aetiology.
Neuromuscular and sensory disturbances in patients with well treated coeliac disease
TLDR
An increased occurrence of axonal neuropathy was observed in well treated coeliac disease, indicating that neurological manifestations occur even in patients without overt malaborption.

Successful infliximab treatment for steroid-refractory celiac disease: a case report.
TLDR
It is concluded that infliximab is an effective treatment that may be considered in a small number of patients with refractory celiac disease, resistant to other therapy.
Neurological complications of celiac disease: a rare but continuing problem.
TLDR
All four patients developed neurological complications despite a strict gluten-free diet, and in three of four patients, there was no improvement in duodenal histology on this diet.
Sporadic cerebellar ataxia associated with gluten sensitivity.
TLDR
The fact that the disease is strongly associated with the same HLA haplotypes found in coeliac disease not only demonstrates coeliasis disease and ataxia with gluten sensitivity to be part of the same disease entity but supports the hypothesis of an immunological pathogenesis of cerebellar degeneration.
