Abstract

Celiac disease (gluten enteropathy) is a chronic genetically determined autoimmune T–cell-mediated enteropathy characterized by persistent intolerance to specific proteins of the endosperm of some cereals with the development of atrophic enteropathy and associated malabsorption syndrome.

Despite the growing interest in pathology, as well as the sufficient prevalence of the disease, this diagnosis often remains difficult to make.

The article presents a clinical case of an atypical form of celiac disease in a boy who was admitted to the hospital in a serious condition with a clinical picture of dynamic intestinal obstruction, which required extensive differential diagnosis.

Repeated laboratory tests (clinical, biochemical), instrumental methods of examination, including fi broesophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy material sampling followed by morphological diagnostics allowed us to conclude the presence of celiac disease in this patient.
