Telecanthus

Telecanthus, or dystopia canthorum, refers to increased distance between the inner corners of the eyelids (medial canthi), while the inter-pupillary distance is normal.

This is in contrast to hypertelorism, in which the distance between the whole eyes is increased.

[1] The diagnosis of traumatic telecanthus requires a measurement in excess of those normative values.

[citation needed] Telecanthus comes from the Greek word τῆλε (tele, "far") and the latinized form of the Greek word κάνθος, (kánthos, meaning 'corner of the eyelid'.

Dystopia canthorum comes from the Greek δυσ- (dus-, “bad”) and τόπος (tópos, “place”) and the latinized Greek word κάνθος, adapted to latin morphology canthorum ("of the canthi").
