These strange symptoms and other symptoms sent the 54-year-old man to the emergency room. According to a recent report, the doctor soon diagnosed him with a strange disease called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. [Photo Gallery of Brain Slices] "KDSP" and "KDSP" are typical Alice in Wonderland syndrome, including epilepsy, drug poisoning, migraine, mental illness and infection. The doctor said, "KDSP" and "KDSP", but this man's incident is the first known case. The syndrome is caused by glioblastoma and aggressive. It sounds like the name Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is taken from a classic book by lewis carroll. As the caterpillar who sucks smoke said to Alice, "One side will make you taller, and the other side will make you shorter." As far as mushrooms are concerned, people with this syndrome may "have a wrong understanding of their own bodies, thus affecting the size and location of the space and the changes in the surrounding environment." The doctor wrote in the report:
In this man's case, he developed pulsating headache, nausea and extreme sensitivity to light after a scene in Alice in Wonderland.
When the doctor examined the man, he learned that he had migraine every month and had a family history of brain tumors. But the examination of nervous system is not obvious. Both EEG and CT are in this person's brain.
Confused, the doctor transferred the man to the Department of Neurology, where he underwent another examination, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. This scan shows the culprit; An inch-long (2.5 cm) lesion in the left temporal occipital region of his brain proved to be glioblastoma.
The temporal occipital region of the brain is related to spatial perception and direction. Dr Sylvia Kurtz, a neurooncologist at the Perlmutter Cancer Center in Langong Medical Center of new york University, said that it makes sense that the lesions there can make people see strange sights. Courths has nothing to do with this man's case.
"What I see in my daily life is that brain tumors can show any kind of neurological symptoms depending on the location of the tumor," Courths told Life Science.
Migraine may also be a visual symptom, but in this man's case, the doctor can rule it out, because the man said that he had never had a migraine. Aura refers to the vague or tortuous visual feelings that some people experience during migraine. Sensory and non-sensory: 7 strange hallucinations]
Courths praised the doctor for examining the man in detail. Even if the patient has a long history of headache, if the headache has new symptoms or never happened, it needs a very thorough evaluation. The most detailed evaluation of the brain from the imaging point of view is the real brain magnetic resonance scanning.
Courths added that because glioblastoma grows rapidly, it is likely that the tumor formed several months before he saw the computer icon jump out of the screen.
The patient immediately underwent laser resection of the tumor and continued to receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. About a year later, the man returned to the hospital for surgery because the tumor recurred in the same place.
But so far, this therapy has worked. Twenty months later, the doctor said that after the onset of Alice in Wonderland syndrome, the man was in good condition and no signs of glioblastoma were found. According to the American Brain Tumor Association, the median survival time of glioblastoma is 1 1 to 15 months. ) "in the brain
