Celiac disease, or celiac enteropathy, is a relatively common autoimmune disease with myriad of presentations, including intestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. It is also a less common cause of cerebral white matter lesions in the absence of other etiologies. If such patients are symptomatic, diagnosis can be challenging, especially when gastrointestinal symptoms are absent. The differential diagnosis in such cases is wide and high index of suspicion is needed to make the diagnosis. We presented a case of celiac disease who presented with neurological symptoms and white matter lesions in brain magnetic resonance imaging without gastrointestinal symptoms.
