Severe Pathological Crying After Left Anterior Choroidal Artery Infarct
Stroke 28:1464-1466, Derex,L.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We conclude that poststroke pathological crying in our patient may have been due to unilateral disruption of the capsular ascending projections of the serotonergic brain stem raphe nuclei.A small left-sided capsular lesion may have led to severe pathological crying.This disabling condition may be reversible with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor therapy.
