Abstract
Two flares of acute myelitis were observed in a 31-year-old woman with previously known mild SLE. The two myelitic episodes both occurred within 1 week after intense sun exposure, and for this reason photobiological induction of the manifestation is considered likely. The diagnostic utility of MRI in the acute situation and the possible influence of sex-steroids on SLE manifestations are also illustrated by this case.
