An epicanthic fold or epicanthus [6] is a skin fold of the upper eyelid that covers the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye. [3] However, variation occurs in the nature of this feature and the presence of "partial epicanthic folds" or "slight epicanthic folds" is noted in the relevant literature.
It is characterized by variable reductions in serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM and/or IgA) levels which cause most ICF patients to succumb to infectious diseases before adulthood. ICF syndrome patients exhibit facial anomalies which include hypertelorism, low-set ears, epicanthal folds and macroglossia. [3]
Megalocornea-intellectual disability syndrome, also known as Neuhauser syndrome, is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by megalocornea, hypotonia from birth, variable intellectual disabilities, psychomotor delays, developmental delays, and facial dysmorphisms such as round face, frontal bossing, antimongoloid slants of the eyes, epicanthal fold, large, low-set ears, broad ...
Girl with epicanthal folds A diagram showing a complete cleft lip and palate. Unevenly positioned eyes that may be crossed or wide-set (hypertelorism) [5] Vision problems due to abnormal facial anatomy, which causes mechanical disturbances of the extraocular muscles, resulting in strabismus (crossed eyes) [3]
Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder that may present with mildly unusual facial features, short height, congenital heart disease, bleeding problems, and skeletal malformations. [1] Facial features include widely spaced eyes , light-colored eyes, low-set ears , a short neck, and a small lower jaw . [ 1 ]
Other common symptoms include lack of an eyelid fold, an appearance of widely spaced eyes (telecanthus), low nose bridge and ear malformations (including cupping and incomplete development). Rare symptoms include microphthalmos (abnormally small eyes), tear ducts in the wrong location and a high-arched palate . [ 1 ]
Some examples of the possible dysmorphic features include: downslanting palpebral fissures, broad nasal bridge, microcephaly, low-set ears, preauricular tags, round faces, short neck, micrognathia, and dental malocclusion, hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, downturned corners of the mouth. There is no specific correlation found between size of ...
A lower or higher than average nasal bridge can be a sign of various genetic disorders, such as fetal alcohol syndrome. A flat nasal bridge can be a sign of Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Fragile X syndrome, 48,XXXY variant Klinefelter syndrome, [2] or Bartarlla-Scott syndrome. A broad nasal bridge can be a sign of Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome ...
