Abstract
A link may exist between vascular accidents and identifiable episodes of excessive exposure to actinic radiation. If this is so, the explanation may lie in the bizarre behaviour of the temporal arteritis/polymyalgia rheumatica syndrome. In turn, the syndrome itself seems to be based upon actinically induced damage and reactivity in the elastic tissues at the surface of the body.Keywords
