Thiel-Behnke dystrophy or Corneal dystrophy of Bowman layer type II is a rare form of corneal dystrophy affecting the layer that supports corneal epithelium.The dystrophy was first described in 1967 and initially suspected to denote the same entity as the earlier-described Reis-Bucklers dystrophy but following a study in 1995 by Kuchle et al. the two look-alike dystrophies were deemed separate disorders.
