title: Isolated left posterior insular infarction and convergent roles in verbal fluency, language, memory, and executive function.
abstract: The posterior insular cortex-a complex structure interconnecting various brain regions for different functions-is a rare location for ischemic stroke. We report a patient with isolated left posterior insular infarction who presented with multiple cognitive impairment, including impairment in semantic and phonemic verbal fluency.
