Crocodile tears or Bogorad Syndrome describes a complication or sequel after facial palsy with incomplete recovery characterized by an excessive hyperlacrimation during the food ingestion. We report the case of a 50 years old female with that pathology associated to facial syncinesias secondary to suffer a right Ramsay-Hunt syndrome. Its pathogenesis and different treatment modalities are analysed.
