Abstract

Alice in the wonderland syndrome (AIWS) was named after the description by Lewis Carroll in his novel. It was in 1955 when John Todd, a psychiatrist, this entity described for the first time. Todd described it as “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” of Lewis Carroll. The author Carroll suffered from heavy migraine attacks. The Alicein- Wonderland-Syndrome is a bewildering state of attacks which affect the visual perception.

AIWS has been described in various publications in relation to many different infectious diseases such as marsh fever, zicavirus, varicella-induced optic neuromyelitis, Lyme disease, H1N1 influenza infection and mononucleosis
