This neurological phenomenon is named after Lewis Carroll's famous novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" because Alice experiences similar distortions of size and space in the story.
People experiencing this phenomenon may perceive objects as growing larger or smaller, changes in their own body size, or a sense of the room expanding or contracting.
It is often associated with migraines, epilepsy, and certain infections, especially in children. In some cases, AIWS may also be triggered by sleep deprivation, stress, or the use of certain medications.
if these episodes are frequent, persistent, or accompanied by other neurological symptoms, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
