Epicanthic fold epicanthal fold epicanthus or simply eye fold are names for a skin fold of the upper eyelid covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye. Other names for this trait include plica palpebronasalis and palpebronasal fold. One of the primary facial features often closely associated with the epicanthic folds is the nasal bridge; all else equal a lower-based nose bridge is more likely to cause epicanthic folds and a higher-based nose bridge is less likely to do so.
