Crocodile tears syndrome was diagnosed in a 51-year-old female complaining of unilateral tearing of several years duration. The diagnosis was not apparent until details of the case history were probed. The present case demonstrates the illusiveness of this diagnosis, since usually, the epiphora will not occur while the patient is being examined. A review of this interesting, but relatively uncommon condition is presented.
