		Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), or micropsia, is a disorienting neurological condition which affects perception by the human eye.
		Micropsia does not only affect visual perception, but also one's hearing, sense of touch, and sometimes one's own body image; the syndrome continues even when the eyes are closed.
		Since it is known that Carroll suffered from migraines, there is some speculation that he might have written that work from direct experience.

	rikkus.info - Alice in Wonderland syndrome
		Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) describes a set of symptoms which include alteration of body image (feeling that parts of the body are the wrong size) and visual perception (objects are the wrong shape or size, perspective is wrong).
		If it is possible to have AIWS symptoms with no underlying cause, then perhaps more people would be diagnosed with AIWS itself, but it seems likely that there is (almost) always a cause, so AIWS is probably seen as an interesting side-effect.
		If you have experience of the syndrome yourself or through friends/relations, or are simply interested in talking about it, please feel free to register and join in.

	Migraine aura symptoms gave rise to "Adventures in Wonderland" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Coining the term "Alice in Wonderland syndrome" to refer to certain hallucinations specific to migraine, Lippman first suggested in the 1950s that Carroll may have used his own migraine experiences in writing "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and the sequel "Through the Looking Glass" (1871).
		In recent years, however, this theory has been refuted because no mention of migraine could be found in the writer's journals before he wrote the Alice stories.
		They believe the "...thesis that at least some of Alice's adventures were based on Carroll's personal migraine aura perceptions...would explain the otherwise inexplicable similarities between the experiences described in the two Alice books and the semeiology of migraine aura symptoms both in the visual and somesthetic domain."

	Back to School - Back to Headaches?
		In children migraines usually don't involve an aura, and the throbbing pain is in the front on both sides rather than one-sided as is more normal in an adult.
		There are several kinds of kids' migraines, including one called Alice-in-Wonderland syndrome in which the child sort of feels like Alice did about time, mass, and the world around her.
		Some of these migraines involve frightening symptoms that wouldn't indicate migraine to worried parents, so your child's pediatrician should be consulted about headaches, and should be told about a family history of migraine.
