Preferred Label : Blepharophimosis - epicanthus inversus - ptosis;
ICD-11 definition : Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare genetic condition
characterized by blepharophimosis (general reduction of palpebral aperture), ptosis,
telecanthus (increased distance between inner canthi), epicanthus inversus (a skin
fold arising in the lower eyelid and extending upwards, partially covering the inner
canthus). Two subtypes of BPES are observed. In type 1, palpebral anomalies are associated
with female infertility due to ovarian failure and premature menopause. In type 2,
only palpebral anomalies are observed.;
