Diagnosis
Diagnosis depends on obtaining a comprehensive medical history of the individual along with knowledge of AIWS symptoms. Blood tests, brain MRI and EEG are also necessary to rule out other conditions.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
However, the research does note that while these diagnostic tools are necessary, the chances of finding lesions on the brain to indicate the presence of disease are typically low.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 This is why experience with the condition is generally necessary to accurately diagnose it.
