    Author: Bhatjiwale MG, Goel A, Desai K.
    Journal: Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo); 1996 Sep; 36(9):644-6. PubMed ID: 8913081.
    Abstract:
    A 26-year-old male presented with a trigeminal neurinoma manifesting as pathological laughter. After resection of the large tumor, the symptom disappeared completely. Pathological laughter sometimes precedes other manifestations of tumors around the brainstem and may be a useful localizing sign.
