Hypotelorism is a medical condition pertaining to abnormally close eyes.[1]
Causes
It is often a result of fetal alcohol syndrome [FAS] caused by large alcohol intake in the first month of pregnancy.[citation needed]
It can be associated with trisomy 8.[2]
Metopic synostosis, the early closure of metopic suture during skull development in children can also cause hypotelorism
