How common are Micropsia and Alice in Wonderland Syndrome in children?

I think I had one of these syndromes or something similar when I was a child, usually induced by delirium fevers, but I'm not entirely sure, and I can't find any statistics on them. Does anyone know exactly how common they are, particularly in children?

    Children between the ages of five and ten seem particularly prone to micropsia, as well as macropsia, which causes things to appear bigger than they are.

    According to this article http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/31696125...

    it's''únknown how many people suffer AWS''

    It's most common among migraine sufferers,

    "For example, the highest incidence of newly diagnosed migraine headaches appearing in males, 246 per 100 000 person-years, occurred in those aged 10 to 14 years."

    I never heard of it being a real medical condition. Ask a real doctor. As for me, long ago, I had my own experience chasing that rabbit down the whole. =) That was soooo long ago. Anyways, good luck with that. Like I said, ask a real doctor about it.
