ABSTRACT
The symptom of crocodile tears refers to an abnormal gusto-lacrimal reflex whereby any stimulus causing parotid secretion also induces lacrimation. It is a sequelae lesion of facial nerve, usually after the facial paralysis. The authors found the symptom of crocodile tears in one case after facial paralysis due to herpes zoster oticus and two cases after Bell's palsy.
