Dennie-Morgan fold

A Dennie–Morgan fold, also known as a Dennie–Morgan line or an infraorbital fold, is a fold or line in the skin below the lower eyelid caused by edema in atopic dermatitis. The presence of Dennie–Morgan folds is used as a diagnostic marker for allergy. [Uehara M. Infraorbital fold in atopic dermatitis. "Arch Dermatol" 1981; 117: 627-9.
