Ascher syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1063203220

Ascher syndrome is characterised by the association of blepharochalasis and double lip. Blepharochalasis is characterised by relapsing oedematous tumefaction and increasing relaxation of the eyelids with atrophy of the skin, blepharophimosis and emergence of a pseudoepicanthus. Folding of the oral mucosa is referred to as double lip. It usually affects the upper lip, but the lower lip may also be involved.
