Extraintestinal Manifestations of Coeliac Disease

<p>Coeliac Disease (CD) affects at least 1% of the population. “Classical” CD refers to gastrointestinal presentations with anaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms. CD can however present with extraintestinal manifestations the commonest of which are dermatitis herpetiformis and neurological presentations (e.g. ataxia neuropathy encephalopathy). Recognition and research into the pathophysiology of such manifestations is likely to enhance our understanding of this complex autoimmune disorder.</p>
