Crocodile tears syndrome: Spontaneous tearing in parallel with the normal salivation of eating. The crocodile tears syndrome occurs most often following facial paralysis when nerve fibers destined for a salivary gland are damaged and by mistake regrow into a tear gland. Also called Bogorad's syndrome, gustatolacrimal reflex, paroxysmal lacrimation. Frey's syndrome: Frey's Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that results from injury or surgery near the parotid glands damaging the facial nerve. This syndrome is characterized by flushing or sweating on one side of the face when certain foods are consumed.
