Resumen_ingles
Introduction: Extraintestinal manifestations in the celiac disease, in absence of the classic intestinal ones, are increasingly frequent. Gluten ataxia is a frequent manifestation in adults with celiac disease. It is, nonetheless, considered exceptional in pediatrics.
Case report: We present a case of an 11-year-old boy with progressive ataxia difficult to diagnose, with practically normal serologic markers of celiac disease, diagnosed by intestinal biopsy and with a positive response to intravenous immunoglobulins and a gluten-free diet.
Conclusion: It may be advisable in patients with cerebellar ataxia to perform an HLA typing along with an assessment of celiac disease serology, and in case of suspicion of performing oral digestive panendoscopy.
