Telecanthus is commonly associated with which of the following congenital disorders?

Telecanthus, which refers to an increased distance between the medial canthi of the eyes, is indeed commonly associated with certain congenital disorders, particularly Down syndrome and Turner syndrome.

In Down syndrome, telecanthus is part of a broader spectrum of ocular features, along with epicanthic folds and slanted palpebral fissures, resulting from the chromosomal abnormality that leads to characteristic facial features.

In Turner syndrome, where there is a complete or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes, telecanthus may also be observed. The presentation includes various dysmorphic features, including those related to the eyes and face.

When the options include both Down syndrome and Turner syndrome, it highlights the association of telecanthus with multiple genetic conditions, making the correct answer encompass both syndromes. This understanding helps connect the clinical features typically observed in these conditions with the specific ocular findings such as telecanthus.
