Epicanthic fold
A fold of skin from the upper eyelid that covers the inner corner of the eye.
Also: epicanthus, epicanthal fold
The epicanthic fold is a fold of upper-eyelid skin that runs down over the inner corner of the eye, partly covering the small pink tissue there. Many babies of every background have one, and it often fades as the nose bridge grows. In adults it is common among peoples of East, Central and North Asia, Indigenous peoples of the Americas and some peoples of Africa, among others. It is a normal variation of eyelid anatomy.
