Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome

Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS) is characterised by low birth weight and growth retardation, bilateral branchial clefts that may be hemangiomatous, sometimes with linear skin lesions behind the ears ('burn-like' lesions), congenital strabismus, obstructed nasolacrimal ducts, a broad nasal bridge with a flattened nasal tip, a protruding upper lip with an unusually broad and prominent philtrum, and full mouth.

Telecanthus

Distance between the inner canthi more than two standard deviations above the mean (objective); or, apparently increased distance between the inner canthi.
