description <h3>Objectives</h3><p dir="ltr">The aim of this study was to utilise corneal confocal microscopy to quantify corneal nerve morphology and establish the presence of sub-clinical small fibre damage and peripheral neuropathy in children with celiac disease.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">This is a cross-sectional cohort study of twenty children with celiac disease and 20 healthy controls who underwent clinical and laboratory assessments and corneal confocal microscopy. Corneal nerve fiber density (no.mm<sup>2</sup>), corneal nerve branch density (no.mm<sup>2</sup>), corneal nerve fiber length (mm.mm<sup>2</sup>), corneal nerve fiber tortuosity and inferior whorl length (mm.mm<sup>2</sup>) were quantified manually.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Corneal nerve fiber density (34.7±8.6 vs. 32.9±8.6; <i>P</i> = 0.5), corneal nerve branch density (47.2±24.5 vs. 47.3±20.0; <i>P</i> = 0.1) and corneal nerve fiber length (20.0±5.1 vs. 19.5±4.5; <i>P</i> = 0.8) did not differ between children with celiac disease and healthy controls.
