Abstract

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) was named after the description of Lewis Carroll in his novel. In 1955 John Todd, a psychiatrist, described this entity for the first time. Todd described it as “Alice es Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll. The author Carroll suffered from severe migraine attacks. Alice in Wonderland syndrome is a disorienting state of seizures that affect visual perception. AIWS is a neurological form of seizures that affect the brain, causing disturbed perception. Patients describe visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations and disturbed perceptions. The exact causes of AIWS are not yet known. Cases of migraine, brain tumors, depression episodes, epilepsy, delirium, psychoactive drugs, ischemic stroke, EBV, mycoplasma and malaria infections correlate with AIWS like seizures.
