Abstract
Celiac disease (CD), intolerance to gluten, is characterized by the autoimmune inflammation of the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. Herein, we will report a case of a patient diagnosed with CD during investigations performed for recurrent vertigo attacks. Clinicians should be aware that CD may also present with vertigo, and especially in patients with recurrent and prolonged vertigo attacks, CD should also be ruled out.
