A Dennie–Morgan fold, also known as a Dennie–Morgan line or an infraorbital fold, is a fold or line in the skin below the lower eyelid. It can simply be an ethnic/genetic trait,[3] but was found in one study to occur in 25% of patients with atopic dermatitis.[4] The presence of Dennie–Morgan folds can be used as a diagnostic marker for allergy,[5][6] with a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 76% for atopic dermatitis according to one study,[7] although another study found them to be of diagnostic significance in atopic dermatitis.[8] The condition was described by Charles Clayton Dennie and David B. Morgan in 1948. [9][10]
