Alice in Wonderland syndrome in H1N1 influenza: case report

Abstract

The different aspects of the global H1N1 influenza and its complications are currently of great interest. Neurological complications of the disease and its frequency are still unknown. We report a case of an 11-year-old girl who developed Alice in Wonderland syndrome associated with H1N1 influenza. This unique clinical syndrome was previously described in other diseases. The clinician's awareness of the existence of this syndrome in H1N1 influenza might save the child from undergoing extensive diagnostic procedures.
