-
A rare disorder characterised by the combination of autoimmune intestinal disease, epileptic seizures and cerebral calcifications. Coeliac disease and epilepsy manifest at a variable age. Coeliac disease can present in a typical form with onset in the first 2 years of life. Coeliac disease may also present in silent or latent forms, which are characterised in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms, by dermatitis herpetiformis, dental enamel defects or autoimmune thyroiditis. Epilepsy onset is between infancy and adulthood. Most patients present with occipital epileptic seizures, the course being highly variable, with benign, drug-resistant, or epileptic encephalopathy forms. It is not known if epilepsy and/or cerebral calcifications are a consequence of coeliac disease. This syndrome is associated with the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes.
