Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) causes temporary distortions in size, shape, or distance of objects or body parts, and is most commonly linked to migraines, especially in children and young adults. It can also be triggered by viral infections (like Epstein-Barr virus), epilepsy, head trauma, or other neurological conditions affecting how the brain processes visual and sensory information. Episodes are usually brief and not harmful, but they can feel unsettling. If you experience these symptoms—especially if they are new, frequent, or worsening—it’s important to seek medical evaluation to rule out underlying causes and receive appropriate management, particularly for associated conditions like migraines.
