Abstract

Gluten ataxia is one of the extra-intestinal manifestations of celiac disease. It is a rare condition in children, mainly seen in genetically predisposed persons. We report the case of an acute onset of ataxia in a three years-old child treated for celiac disease with excellent compliance to free-gluten diet. The diagnosis and management were challenging.
