Article Synopsis
  • Videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) can aid in diagnosing celiac disease (CD) when initial tests are inconclusive and can also be useful in monitoring complex cases.
  • A review of studies showed 186 patients underwent VCE for diagnosis, while 1,337 patients were followed up, highlighting its role in cases with negative serology or persistent symptoms.
  • The findings indicated VCE is effective in identifying complications like refractory CD, but more research is needed for definitive conclusions about its overall utility in CD management.

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune malabsorption syndrome that presents with intolerance to gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, weakness, vitamin and mineral deficiency. The probability of developing complicated CD is relatively low, among its main manifestations we have refractory sprue, T-cell lymphoma and ulcerative jejunitis (UY) of which a few cases develop gastrointestinal bleeding.
