Abstract

The syndrome of crocodile tears, or Bogorad's syndrome is a rare complication of the facial paralysis. It's characterized by lachrymation on the same side of the palsy in connection with stimulation of salivation (e.g. when eating). We present a case of Melkersson's syndrome who developed a syndrome of crocodile tears.
