The Alice in Wonderland syndrome consists in a perceptual
distortion of one's body size and shape. It is rarely encountered in adults,
where it is mainly associated with migraine with aura and epilepsy. CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old woman had had a migraine without aura since puberty. In the months
following a parturition, she experienced several epidodes of unusual auras
preceding typical migrainous headache. The aura lasted about 30min and consisted
in the feeling of lengthening of the trunk and of the four limbs, associated with
a sensation of well-being. CONCLUSION: Epileptologic and
experimental data suggest that the Alice in Wonderland syndrome is associated
with a transient dysfunction of associative somatosensory areas in the parietal cortex.
