This communication concerns the structure of the electromagnetic quantum
vacuum in a disclinated insulator. It is shown that a nonzero vacuum energy
density appears when the rotational symmetry of a continuous insulating elastic
medium is broken by a disclination. An explicit expression is given for this
Casimir energy density in terms of the parameter describing the disclination.
