    Background: Migraine affects how the brain processes sensory information at multiple levels. The aberrant integration of visual and somatosensory stimuli is thought to underlie Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, a disorder often reported as being associated with migraine. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the epidemiology of this syndrome in migraineurs and the association between Alice in Wonderland Syndrome episodes and migraine attacks. Therefore, we conducted a prospective cohort study to systematically evaluate the prevalence and the clinical features of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome in a large sample of patients with migraine. Methods: All the patients attending for the first time a tertiary-level headache clinic were consecutively screened for Alice in Wonderland Syndrome symptoms by means of an ad hoc questionnaire and detailed clinical interview, over a period of 1.5 years. Patients experiencing Alice in Wonderland Syndrome symptoms were contacted for a follow-up after 8–12 months. Results: Two hundred and ten patients were recruited: 40 patients (19%) reported lifetime occurrence of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, 90% of whom (38/40) had migraine with aura. Thirty-one patients experienced episodes of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome within 1 h from the start of migraine headache. Patients reported either visual or visual and somatosensory symptoms (i.e. somatosensory symptoms never presented alone). We collected the follow-up details of 30 patients with Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, 18 of whom had been prescribed a preventive treatment for migraine. After 8–12 months, 5 of the treated patients reported a decrease, while 13 reported no episodes of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Conclusion: Alice in Wonderland Syndrome prevalence in migraineurs was found to be higher than expected. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome was mostly associated with migraine with aura and tended to occur close to the migraine attack, suggesting the existence of a common pathophysiological mechanism. Patients treated with migraine preventive treat- ments had a higher chance of decreasing or even resolving Alice in Wonderland Syndrome episodes

    Adult Realm v. Childhood: A Critical Examination of the Victorian Realm’s Ideal Young Adult

    Get PDF
    Alice in Wonderland is a story that represents the cultural shift in Victorian ideas and its vision of childhood. The character of Alice represents an ideal Victorian youth, but her inabilities, confinement, and limitations in Wonderland suggest a culture clash and changing times. The story of Alice, through its puns, miscommunication, confusing mannerisms, and cultural disconnection between Alice and the inhabitants of Wonderland, preach a rejection of the Victorian adult realm. The novel itself provides an alternative for children to be children rather than obedient little adults

    Adaptations of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'

    Get PDF
    This English Literature undergraduate dissertation will analyse three adaptations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to explore how different mediums can translate key components of the original text to ensure that they are still recognisably Alice. From this, the work will then determine why Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland continues to be adapted. The three adaptations chosen to do this are: Tim Burton’s film Alice in Wonderland, Jeff Noon’s book Automated Alice and Christopher Wheeldon’s Ballet Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, all of which will be analysed against Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Three key themes of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland have been chosen to explore how the adaptations display Alice, but also their own creativity. These themes are playfulness, Alice’s characterisation and madness. Adaptation theory will be the main theory used throughout, however other relevant secondary criticism will also be introduced when appropriate. The conclusion will surmise how, due to the width and depth of the themes in the original, adaptors return to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland due to the scope for creativity and desire for resolution that can be found in it. It will also state how Lewis Carroll’s own personal feelings towards young girls creates conflict in the story, i.e. the necessity of growing up versus the desire for this not to occur. Furthermore, it will show how the themes discussed argue the delight of childhood and the need for childishness in the formation of Wonderland and the character of Alice to prolong his attachment to Alice Liddel
