Abstract
Celiac disease (CD), intolerance to gluten, is characterized by the autoimmune inflammation of small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. Herein we will report a patient diagnosed with celiac disease during investigations performed for recurrent vertigo attacks. Clinicians should be aware of that, celiac disease may also present with vertigo;
and especially in patients with recurrent and prolonged vertigo attacks, celiac disease should also be ruled out.

Keywords: Celiac disease, vertigo, gluten
