Hypertrichosis of lower eyelid – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1745432314

This refers to an abnormal amount of hair growth over the lower eyelid; extensive cases of hypertrichosis have informally been called werewolf syndrome, because the appearance is similar to the werewolf. Hypertrichosis can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life.
