Abstract
Background: Emotional lability is described as stereotypical affective outbursts which is not reflective of internal emotion. We present a case of caudate nucleus infarct presented as pathological crying.
Case Description: A 56-year-old man presented with abrupt onset history of pervasive episodes of crying since a week. His brain imaging had shown an acute infarct in right caudate nucleus.
Conclusion: Our patient had episodes of pathological crying due to disruption in subcortical thalamic-ponto cerebellar network. It is important to note that physicians and psychiatrist should be aware of unusual manifestation of right caudate nucleus infarct as pathological crying.
