Hallucinations. The AIWS is a clinical presentation of distorted body images and/or objects surrounding the subject
experiencing the syndrome. Several medical conditions have been accompanying to this unique type of hallucinatory
disease condition, the exact cause of which is yet unknown. AIWS can also be described as a set of symptoms with
alteration of body image. An amendment of visual perception is found in that way that the sizes of body parts or sizes
of external objects are professederroneously. The causes may be epilepsy, stroke, brain tumor, Head trauma, Migraines,
Infection etc. The exact treatment modality is still not unknown.The finest way to treat this condition is simply by helping
the patient become more comfortable. For example, if the problem is caused by migraines, the treatment of the migraine
