Description
Coeliac disease is a common condition which may affect 1 in 200 individuals. The majority of patients are diagnosed in adulthood, many presenting with atypical symptoms. Metabolic bone disease can be a feature of coeliac disease but is generally under recognised. Clinical manifestations can be at any age though first presentation at extreme old age is rare. We describe an elderly patient who presented with severe hypocalcaemia secondary to coeliac disease.
