ABSTRACT

The vein of Labbe collects blood from cortical veins of the lateral temporal lobe and empties into the transverse sinus. Isolated thrombosis of the vein of Labbe has been rarely reported. Herein we present a case of isolated thrombosis of the vein of Labbe with radiologic findings. MR imaging showed temporal hemorrhagic infarct. The right vein of Labbe was seen as hyperintense consistent with thrombosis.
