Description Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting visuospatial function, most commonly attributed to Alzheimers disease pathology. Individuals with PCA have a myriad of complex and perplexing visual disturbances that include prolonged color after images, difficulty reading large rather than small text, and perception of motion of static images (1). Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is a phenomenon characterized by distortions of shapes (metamorphoses), and is most commonly attributed to migraines or seizures.
