It has been recently reported that CH may not presence with aura more than ever and this condition will be identified by headache specialists as a new form of CH.
Case Report: As there is no report to our knowledge on Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) manifested as CH aura in the literature, we present a case of a 35-year-old man having AIWS as CH aura.
