Normal small bowel biopsy followed by coeliac disease.
We report four patients (two children, one adolescent, and one adult) having normal small bowel mucosa shown on a biopsy specimen taken before the initial diagnosis of coeliac disease was made. The first biopsy was undertaken in two cases because of suspected malabsorption, in the third because of suspected dermatitis herpetiformis, and in the fourth as part of a coeliac disease family study. A...
متن کاملSmall intestinal biopsy in childhood coeliac disease.
Small intestinal biopsies from children with treated and untreated coeliac disease have been analysed morphometrically and compared with controls.

The other, described by Meinhard, Wadbrook and Risdon (1965), involves tracing the microscopic image of the b...

A further case is reported in which a carcinoma developed in a patient known to be suffering from coeliac disease for some years, although he was not on a gluten-free diet for the time precedi...
متن کاملAdenocarcinoma of the upper small bowel complicating coeliac disease.

Only 14 cases have been reported, and in only one of these was a jejunal biopsy carried out more than eight months before the diagnosis of malignancy. We describe four more patients with this association, all with long histories of coeliac disease, confirmed in three by jejunal biopsy over five years before the diag...
متن کاملSmall bowel enema in non-responsive coeliac disease.
A small bowel enema was performed in patients with non-responsive coeliac disease, in coeliac patients on a normal diet (untreated) and those who had shown a good response to a gluten free diet, and in control subjects to determine whether there were any specific radiological features of the non-responsive state. A significant reduction in the average number of jejunal folds and an increase in ...
