Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion.
  • It often leads to malabsorption of nutrients and vitamins.
  • Undiagnosed coeliac disease can manifest with various complications.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old man presented with acute leg hematomas and malabsorption symptoms.
  • Investigations revealed severe anemia, prolonged clotting times, and low vitamin levels.
  • Abdominal ultrasound showed thickened intestinal walls.

Findings:

  • A vitamin A absorption test confirmed intestinal malabsorption.
  • Upper intestinal endoscopy and biopsy diagnosed coeliac disease.
  • The patient's condition improved significantly with vitamin supplementation and a gluten-free diet.

Implications:

  • Coeliac disease can remain clinically silent for extended periods.
  • Bleeding disorders can be an isolated presenting symptom of coeliac disease.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering coeliac disease in patients with unexplained bleeding and malabsorption.
