Celiac Disease in Children: An Association With Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
2021, Pediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Prior studies in adult patients have shown the importance of investigating the presence of CD in patients with epilepsy, even in the absence of digestive symptoms, as early diagnosis and treatment with exclusion of gluten from the diet has been shown to improve seizure burden.16-18 Furthermore, previous studies have reported a correlation between CD, localization-related epilepsy, and occipital cerebral calcifications termed celiac disease, epilepsy, and cerebral calcifications syndrome.19-21 Our aim was to evaluate the distinctive features of epilepsy in pediatric patients with CD, examine the association between CD and drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), and assess the effect of adherence to a GFD on seizure burden.

2019, SeizureCitation Excerpt :Posterior cerebral calcifications may also be found in asymptomatic coeliac patients as well as in patients without CD [4,5]. Calcifications have been initially assumed to be secondary to vitamin deficiencies due to malabsorption (e.g. folate, vitamins B12, D, and E) [4,5]. However, as neurological manifestations can arise without enteropathy, immune-mediated mechanisms have been postulated [5].

2017, Seminars in Pediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :In addition to the traditional types of seizures mentioned earlier, there is a specific syndrome identified by the literature that is characterized by bilateral occipital calcifications and seizures in patients with CD. This syndrome is relatively rare and of undetermined clinical significance.34 Several small studies have suggested a link with folate deficiency.35,36
