Abstract EN
Celiac disease is an autoimmune systemic disorder.
It presents gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal manifestations as well as associated conditions.
We report a 16-year-old Down syndrome girl who presented psychosis symptomatology, and she was diagnosed as having silent celiac disease.
Olanzapine treatment and gluten-free diet were satisfactory.
It is necessary to consider celiac disease in Down syndrome patients with psychiatric symptoms, mainly psychotic symptomatology.
