Abstract

Objective: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory gluten-dependent intestinal disease affecting 0.5-1% of the general population worldwide. CD is underdiagnosed even with sophisticated health care; approximately 10% of people affected by CD are now diagnosed. The recognition of the atypical extra-intestinal manifestations, including neurological disorders increased the diagnosis of CD. At present, no data are available on the presence of sensorineural hearing loss in pediatric CD patients. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and severity of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in different frequencies in pediatric CD patients.
