An epicanthic fold or epicanthus[6] is a skin fold of the upper eyelid that covers the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye.[2] However, variation occurs in the nature of this feature and the possession of "partial epicanthic folds" or "slight epicanthic folds" is noted in the relevant literature.[7][8][9] Various factors influence whether epicanthic folds form, including ancestry, age, and certain medical conditions.
