    Is Celiac Disease an Etiological Factor in Children With Migraine?
    (2016) Balci, Oya; Yilmaz, Deniz; Sezer, Taner; Hizli, Samil; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2278-1827; 26887413; AAJ-5931-2021
    To determine the prevalence of celiac disease in children and adolescents with migraine, the authors investigated serum levels of tissue transglutaminase antibody immunoglobulin A and total immunoglobulin A from 81 children with migraine and in a healthy control group of 176 children. Study participants who were positive for tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A antibodies underwent a duodenal biopsy. Two patients in the migraine group (2.5%) and 1 in the control group (0.57%) tested positive for serum tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A antibodies (P > .05). Duodenal biopsy did not confirm celiac disease in both groups, and these patients were considered potential celiac cases. In the present study, children with migraine did not exhibit a higher prevalence rate of celiac disease compared with healthy controls. Therefore, the screening test for celiac disease is not a necessary part of the management of migraine in children.

    The Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Children With Arterial Ischemic Stroke
    (2017) Balci, Oya; Sezer, Taner; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2278-1827; 27548338; AAJ-5931-2021
    Objective: The association between arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) and celiac disease (CD) has been described in only a few cases in adults and children. We aim to determine the prevalence of CD in children and adolescents with AIS. Study Design: We investigated serum levels of tissue transglutaminase antibody immunoglobulin (Ig) A and total IgA from 76 children with AIS and in a healthy control group of 102 children. Study participants who were positive for tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies underwent a duodenal biopsy. Results: A total of 2 patients in the AIS group (2.26%) and 2 in the control group (1.96%) had positive serum tissue transglutaminase antibody (P= 0.89; 95% confidence interval, -5.05 to 6.89). Duodenal biopsy confirmed CD in only 1 patient who had AIS. Conclusions: In the present study, children with acute arterial stroke did not exhibit a higher prevalence rate of CD compared with healthy controls. Therefore, the screening test for CD is not a necessary part of the management of AIS in children. However, cases of recurrent AIS could be examined for CD.
