Alice in Wonderland Syndrome

Alice in Wonderland syndrome involves distorted perceptions, often seen in children. Symptoms include visual and auditory hallucinations, but sufferers recognize these as illusions. Initially linked to migraines and epilepsy, recent research suggests infections like Epstein-Barr virus may reduce blood flow to brain areas, causing symptoms. Case studies show parietal lobe involvement in spatial reasoning and body perception. Despite some unexplained cases, many children outgrow the syndrome. Lewis Carroll's migraines may have inspired his famous story.
