Summary

Introduction

Thirty-eight children (32 boys, 6 girls) with 41 episodes of myositis between 1978 and 1997 are reported from the Royal Children's Hospital, University of Melbourne, Australia. Five children with "Alice in Wonderland" syndrome associated with infectious mononucleosis are reported from Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin, and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Aviv University, Israel. Visual evoked potentials (VEP) were studied during and after symptoms which included episodes of visual illusions - distortion of form, size, position, movement, or color associated with headache, nausea, and dizziness. VEPs showed statistically high amplitudes of P100-N145 compared to the control group, similar to findings in migraine.
