摘要：
An 18-year-old male presented to the ophthalmology department with bilateral total subluxated cataract. On systemic examination, he was found to have grossly short stature, multiple severe bony deformities, hypogonadism and partial adontia. Detailed work-up revealed a biochemical and radiologic picture consistent with osteomalacia, which had resulted from malabsorption secondary to celiac disease, confirmed histopathologically. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of bilateral cataract as the presenting feature of celiac disease. Malabsorption leading to hypocalcemia along with chronic diarrhea itself may have contributed to the development of bilateral cataract. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
