Abstract
A 52-year-old man presented with progressive gait disturbances. MRI demonstrated a large extra-axial tumor in the cerebellopontine angle compressing the brainstem and resulting in hydrocephalus. While taking the patient's history, episodes of uncontrollable crying with sudden onset occurred multiple times. In this case report, we present and discuss the differential diagnoses of episodes of uncontrollable crying without emotional affect in adults and the possible underlying etiology.
