<Please give a definition to "epicanthic fold." When does it occur, and
how>

Epicanthal folds - redundant folds of skin at the inner corner( canthus) of
the eyes, often seen in individuals with depressed nasal bridges. Epicanthal
folds are normal features in individuals of Eastern Asian descent as well as
many Native American tribes from Mexico, Central America, South America, and
the Caribbean.
