Length of Symptoms
The length of AIWS symptoms varies based on the individual and the extent of the disorder. For some, symptoms only last a few minutes or hours.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
In other cases, symptoms can manifest continuously over the course of days or years. AIWS may disappear completely by the time it reaches early adulthood. However, in other cases AIWS can be a lifelong condition, and symptoms may come and go.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 Treatment options remain sparse as research is necessary to determine specific causes and comorbidities of AIWS.
