ABSTRACT

The authors describe clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging findings in a 70-year-old man with a cystic lesion in the midline cerebellum. He presented with pathological crying in parallel to a worsening of his ataxia. This report suggests a role for the cerebellum in the regulation of emotional expression.
