    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Digestive Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, primarily affecting the small intestine.
    • While small intestinal mucosal damage is characteristic, jejunal ulceration is an infrequent and severe complication.
    • Understanding this association is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of celiac disease with jejunal ulceration.
    • To review the literature on the frequency and potential complications of this association.
    • To discuss therapeutic approaches for managing jejunal ulcers in celiac patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Literature review on celiac disease and jejunal ulceration.
    • Analysis of therapeutic strategies.

    Main Results:

    • A patient with celiac disease presented with ulceration of the jejunum, a rare occurrence.
    • Surgical resection of the affected jejunal segment was performed.
    • Literature review highlights the infrequent nature of this complication.

    Conclusions:

    • Jejunal ulceration is a rare but significant complication of celiac disease.
    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, potentially including surgery, are essential.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment is warranted.
