Hypertrichosis of upper eyelid – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/480542213

This refers to an abnormal amount of hair growth over the upper 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.
