Celiac Disease Diagnosed in an Older Adult Patient with a Complex Neuropsychiatric Involvement: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

We present a case of celiac disease (CD) diagnosis in a 75-year-old woman with a long-term history of chronic delusional jealousy and a complex neurological involvement. The case describes a very unusual clinical picture, provides some clinical clues, and highlights the importance of being aware of CD extraintestinal manifestations in order to get a timely diagnosis.
