Abstract

We report on a 52-year-old female patient with recurrent neurosarcoidosis and an "atypical" course of celiac disease, with mild clinic features, positive IgA-antibodies and histology. In our patient, the IgA-antibodies led to a false positive troponin I test, and we initially suspected an acute coronary syndrome. With dietary treatment of the celiac disease, the antibodies decreased and the troponin I test became negative. The coincidental occurrence of sarcoidosis and "potential" celiac disease (positive antibodies only) has been reported. The coincidence of an "atypical" celiac disease and sarcoidosis is rare.
