Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, also known as AIWS, is a rare neurological condition that affects a person’s perception of their body and the external world. Individuals with AIWS may experience visual distortions, such as objects appearing larger or smaller than they are and a sense of time and space feeling altered. This condition can also cause changes in body image perception, making body parts appear larger or smaller. AIWS is often associated with migraines, epilepsy, and viral infections, most commonly affecting children and adolescents. The exact cause of AIWS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve disruptions in the brain’s sensory processing and perception systems. While the symptoms of AIWS can be unsettling, the condition is usually temporary and resolves on its own.
