Latent Coeliac Disease (L.C.D.) is an extremely rare condition to describe. In this study we analized three cases of patients affected by L.C.D.: two of them suffered from Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) and the other one from infantile cerebral palsy and eosinophilic gastroenteritis. We confirm the existence of this form of Coeliac Disease (C.D.), by means of duodenal biopsy, and stress the importance of an early diagnosis in order to prevent the serious consequences caused by untreated C.D.
