چکیده
|
Vitamin a deficiency (vad) can cause a range of ocular manifestations,including night blindness,conjunctival and corneal xerosis and keratomalacia. it is an important cause of preventable blindness. although usually a result of malnutrition,vad can accompany malabsorption syndrome. we report a case of vad as manifested by bitot's spots and eventually diagnosed to have celiac disease. it is,therefore,important to consider gastrointestinal diseases causing malabsorption in the evaluation of vad.
