Treatment
Treatment modalities are minimal. Most cases of the condition are largely benign. Full remission can sometimes be obtained, either spontaneously or with treatment.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259
Typically, treatment consists of antiviral or antibiotic medications to treat underlying infections, or drugs for migraines if this condition is present. Effective treatment is necessary for underlying conditions that increase the risk of developing AIWS. Antipsychotics are usually not recommended because AIWS is not a true psychosis, and these drugs may in fact aggravate the condition.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259
