Insular Cortex Infarction in Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Stroke
Arch Neurol 62:1081-1085, Fink,J.N.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The insular cortex is involved in almost half of patients with nonlacunar ischemic MCA territory strokes. Major insula involvement is associated with large MCA territory infarcts, proximal MCA occlusions, and greater stroke severity. Insula infarction was not a predictor of clinically significant acute cardiovascular events during hospital stay in our patients.
