Background: Coeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy that may feature extraintestinal manifestations including cerebellar ataxia and myoclonus.
Methods And Results: A descriptive series of five patients with CD who presented with prominent stimulus-sensitive foot myoclonus.
Conclusions: Stimulus-sensitive foot myoclonus is a distinct clinical sign and may be a useful clue to the diagnosis of CD.

Article Synopsis
- The genus Latrodectus includes 35 widow spider species, known for causing severe envenoming symptoms, referred to as latrodectism, which can result in pain, autonomic issues, and rare complications like myocarditis.
- A case involving a 34-year-old woman envenomed by a red-back spider (L. hasselti) highlighted typical symptoms such as prolonged pain and edema, alongside mild hypertension and other non-specific issues.
- Treatment with red-back spider antivenom was effective, but the case raised discussion on the complexities of differentiating venom effects from allergic reactions in patients with prior exposure.
