        abstract = {Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS), also known as Todd Syndrome or Dysmetropsia, is an uncommon neurological disorder involving distorted perceptions of body image, time, space, and external objects. AIWS subjects experience visual and somatosensory disturbances such as macropsia, micropsia, pelopsia, teleopsia, derealization, and depersonalization. The temporoparietal-occipital junction is predominantly affected, being the center for sensory integration AIWS is primarily associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection in children and migraine in adults, though secondary causes may include epilepsy, brain tumors, psychiatric disorders, head trauma, strokes, and drug effects. Diagnosis remains challenging due to the episodic nature of the disorder and lack of standardized criteria. Diagnosis depends on comprehensive clinical assessments, exclusion of alternative diagnoses, and supportive investigations. While no definitive therapy exists, targeting the underlying cause, symptomatic control through medications and behavioral changes, and psychological support can significantly reduce the impact on patients’ lives.},
