Hypertelorism - what does this mean

Hypertelorism is a condition in which the distance between the eyes is abnormally wide. it is caused by an abnormal development of the midface bones, resulting in the eyes being set too far apart. it is usually present at birth and can be associated with other medical conditions.

What happens during the disease - hypertelorism

Hypertelorism is a congenital condition that is caused by abnormal development of the facial bones during embryonic development. it is caused by a disruption of the normal morphogenesis of the midface, which results in increased distance between the eyes. this is due to a failure of the medial nasal processes to fuse, resulting in a wide separation of the eyes. this defect can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both.
