The insular cortex has been shown experimentally to contain an arrhythmogenic center that may play an important role in the genesis of cardiac arrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes in patients with intracranial (eg, cerebrovascular) lesions. The description of our case is intended to substantiate this claim with a clinical observation.
