Cryptophthalmos

Definition:

Subjective: Absent palpebral fissures, with skin passing continuously from the forehead or eyebrow onto the cheek

Comments:

This term is based on Saal et al. [1992]. This is an acknowledged bundled term, though the separate coding of the components (palpebral fissure absence; presence of eyelashes) was deemed impractical. This is typically associated with a rudimentary or small globe. Frequently, a tuft of hair accompanies the aberrant skin.
