Abstract
in English, Spanish

Introduction: celiac disease is an autoimmune disease with symptoms involving multiple organs. The forms of presentation vary considerably, which makes it difficult to diagnose. The objective is to present an atypical case of celiac disease.

Methodology: descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study of a case of an adult woman who presented with tetany

Results: investigating the case, the diagnosis of tetany was reached secondary to an intestinal malabsorption

Conclusion: celiac disease can occur atypically as a tetany
