Familial isolated trichomegaly – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1611595637

Familial isolated trichomegaly is a rare genetic hair anomaly characterised by a prolonged anagen phase of the eyelash hairs, leading to extreme eyelash growth that may result in corneal irritation. Increased growth of hair on other parts of the face (eyebrows, cheeks, forehead) and/or the body (chest, arms, legs) may be associated.
