[Ulcerative jejunitis: a complication of celiac disease].
We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with celiac disease of long standing, who developed episodes of intestinal obstruction during two months. They were misdiagnosed as intestinal obstructions caused by adhesions. The barium meal and follow-through examination disclosed several jejunal stenoses. Therefore, the patient underwent early surgery where an intestinal resection was carried out. The histological examination showed the presence of benign ulcers at the stenoses. After surgery, the patient began to gain weight and her nutritional state improved remarkably.
