“…This phenomenon is more pronounced in the upper half of the body and thus responsible for the typical phenotype of hands, arms, chest, neck, head, and face. 7 We hypothesize that skin extension of the eyelids results in a higher number of eyelashes and a greater vertical insertion distance. Similar, but not the identical ocular adnexal findings, such as increase in number of eyelashes together with ptosis and neck webbing due to intrauterine lymphedema can be found in the lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome.…”

Turner's syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosome disorder caused by a partial loss, complete absence or structural abnormality of one X chromosome in females. Special ocular features are often found. Some of the abnormalities are only cosmetic, such as the abnormalities of the eyelashes. The present prospective study with 12 TS and 12 control patients demonstrates the higher number of eyelashes as well as the greater vertical distance between the roots of the eyelashes in patients with TS compared with the control group. Increased awareness of this ophthalmological abnormality could be an additional diagnostic tool for early clinical suspicion of TS diagnosis.
