Micropsia is sometimes seen in individuals with brain infarctions.
More rarely, Micropsia can be part of purely visual seizures.
Micropsia has also been related to Jonathan
Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels.
Micropsia that is induced by macular degeneration can be
treated in several ways.
Dissociative phenomena are linked with Micropsia, which may be the result of brain-lateralization disturbance.
The majority of individuals with Micropsia are aware that their perceptions do not mimic reality.
Convergence-accommodative Micropsia is a physiologic phenomenon in which an object appears
smaller as it approaches the subject.
A majority of these flashbacks are visual distortions which include Micropsia, and 15-80% of hallucinogen users may experience these flashbacks.
Related visual distortion conditions include macropsia, a less common condition with the reverse effect, and Alice in Wonderland Syndrome,
a condition that has symptoms that can include both Micropsia and macropsia.
