    Abstract:
    Celiac disease (CD) is a multi-systemic autoimmune condition that causes a hyperinflammatory response when gluten is ingested. There has been a shift in the clinical presentation of CD from a mere malabsorption disorder to an autoimmune condition that affects multiple organ systems, which could increase the rate of hospitalizations and a decreased quality of life. This article has compiled various studies that have explored the neurological manifestations of celiac disease, their epidemiology, possible pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment. The most common neurological conditions include gluten ataxia (GA), gluten neuropathy, gluten encephalopathy, and epilepsy which usually present as sporadic diseases which are difficult to diagnose in the absence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. The treatment for most of these conditions is a gluten-free diet (GFD) regardless of GI involvement.
