Abstract

Celiac disease is an intestinal reaction towards gluten which causes a defect in the digestive system. Although celiac disease presents with typical malabsorption symptoms, it can also cause atypical gastrointestinal system symptoms (discomfort). Among case reports in the literature related with atypical celiac disease, there has been no celiac disease case who presented with pseudo-obstruction and increased liver enzymes. In this paper, we report a nine-year-old celiac patient who presented with pseudo-obstruction symptoms and increased aminotransferase level.
