Case ReportsAlice in Wonderland syndrome as a presenting symptom of EBV infection.
Four Chinese patients (2 boys, 2 girls), ages 4-9 years, who had episodes of perception error of body schema and objects are reported. The metamorphopsia, which had been named Alice in Wonderland syndrome, is the major presentation. ⋯ The duration of the perception disorder ranged from 1 week to 3 months. We believe that any young child presenting with Alice in Wonderland syndrome should undergo examination for Epstein-Barr virus infection; complete recovery from the disorder can be expected.
