To report a rare association between Groenow type II macular corneal dystrophy and degree myopia, as encountered in two non-twin sisters. We conducted a clinical surveillance of the morbid ophthalmological manifestations presented by two non-twin sisters. These manifestations occurred in an almost identical manner over time. An isolated case of this pathological coexistence would have been dismissed as a morbid coincidence without any particular significance. However, its presence at the only daughters of a family made us look for further reports of such cases in scientific literature, but our search ended without any similar findings. The lack of similar reports of coexistence between macular corneal dystrophy and high degree myopia at members of the same family could indicate the possibility of this being the description of a rare syndrome.
报告在两名非双胞胎姐妹中发现的格罗诺Ⅱ型黄斑角膜营养不良与高度近视之间的罕见关联。我们对两名非双胞胎姐妹出现的眼部病态表现进行了临床监测。这些表现在一段时间内以几乎相同的方式出现。如果是孤立的这种病理共存病例，可能会被当作病态巧合而不予重视，没有任何特殊意义。然而，它出现在一个家庭仅有的两个女儿身上，促使我们在科学文献中寻找此类病例的更多报告，但我们的搜索未得到任何类似发现。同一家族成员中黄斑角膜营养不良与高度近视共存的类似报告缺失，可能表明这是一种罕见综合征的描述。
