This syndrome, which is primarily characterized by experiences of transformations of one's own body image and objects in the outside world, was first described by British psychiatrist J. Todd in 1955. The name is, of course, derived from the work of the same name by Lewis Carroll (1865), but the strange phenomena experienced by Alice in the work are so realistic that it is imagined that the author himself may have actually suffered from similar experiences. It is seen in epilepsy, cerebral diseases, intoxication caused by mescaline or LSD, febrile delirium, hypnotic states, schizophrenia, etc., and the theory that the lesion is localized in the parietal lobe has been pointed out.

自己の身体像や外界の事物の変形体験を主とする症候群で,イギリスの精神科医トッドJ.Toddが1955年に初めて記載した。その名はむろんルイス・キャロルの同名の作品(1865)に由来するが,そのなかでアリスの体験する奇妙な現象は真に迫っていて,作者自身が実際に同様の体験に苦しんでいたのではないかと想像される。癲癇(てんかん),大脳の病気,メスカリンやLSDによる酩酊,熱性譫妄(せんもう),催眠状態,精神分裂病などに見られ,病変の頭頂葉局在説が指摘されている。
