Epilepsy & Other Neurological Disorders in Coeliac Disease (Paperback)

Coeliac disease may be manifested by gastrointestinal symptoms, or be silent, latent or 'potential'. It may also be present with dermatitis herpetiformis, dental enamel defects or neurological disorders - especially epilepsy. In the case of the latter symptoms these appear mostly in relation to occipital seizures, frequently intractable. This book examines these, and other neurological manifestations. This book brings together many of the results of the investigations and opinions of the world's leading researchers in the fields of neurology, psychiatry, internal medicine, gastroenterology, immunology, genetics and imaging.
