RESUMO
Crocodile tear syndrome (CTS) is a late complication of facial nerve palsy characterized by unilateral lacrimation in response to gustatory stimulation. We present 2 cases of patients diagnosed with CTS after recovering from unilateral idiopathic facial nerve palsy. Both patients underwent transconjunctival lacrimal gland incobotulinumtoxinA injection, with doses of 5-16 units. The patients were seen in clinic for post-treatment follow-up at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Outcomes were measured by treatment efficacy and adverse drug effects. Following treatment, both patients reported resolution of gustatory lacrimation. The patient treated with 16 U experienced transient ptosis and diplopia following injection, whereas the patient treated with 5-7.5 U experienced no adverse effects.
