Abstract
Insula and its Sulcus inferior and superior represent the bottom of the sylvian fossa. The anterior part of Insula is overlapped by frontal opercular gyri, its posterior part by Gyrus angularis and Gyrus circumflexus. Limen insulae is interposed between Insula and Substantia perforata ant. and the medial border of the Uncus base.
Sulcus inferior insulae is a landmark for the transsylvian approach to Cornu inferius. Limen insulae is a landmark for amygdalotomy.
