Crocodile tear syndrome (CTS) is a rare symptom characterized by excessive unilateral tearing occurring with gustatory stimuli known to develop as a sequel of facial nerve involvement as evident by facial palsy on the affected side.(1) CTS may more rarely occur without antecedent facial palsy with only four cases described in English literature.(2)
