Palpebral fissure

Rima palpebrarum

Definition

Felipe Barona Lopez

The palpebral fissure is the elliptical space created between the edges of the superior and inferior eyelids when they open. It is delimited by the medial and lateral palpebral commissures, which form the medial and lateral angles of the eye respectively.
