Abstract

It has been demonstrated that the insular cortex plays an important role in the swallowing mechanism. This case report describes a patient with bilateral insular cortex lesions and dysphagia secondary to viral meningitis. Recent evaluations of the insula’s role in the swallowing mechanism are discussed.
