Cerebral vein thrombosis is a unique and rare type of cerebrovascular disease. The main challenge in identifying cerebral vein thrombosis is the presence of vague signs and symptoms that can resemble a variety of other intracranial pathologies. Our goal is to present the unique case of a young patient whose MRI scan revealed an abnormally enhancing tumor-like brain lesion that was heterogeneous in intensity and whose intraoperative view and histopathological findings were consistent with the vein of Labbe thrombosis, with ipsilateral transverse and sigmoid sinus involvement.

Balloon protection of the Labbe vein during venous sinus stenting.
Neuroradiol J
November 2024
Interventional Neuroradiology Department, Strasbourg University Hospitals, France.
Endovascular treatment of dural venous sinus stenosis using auto-expandable stents is progressively becoming a central part in the management of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and pulsatile tinnitus. One potential concern during stenting is impairment of venous outflow in the Labbé vein, which usually drains in close proximity to the culprit transverse sinus stenosis. We propose a technique which can counteract venous outflow impairment, consisting of temporary balloon protection of the Labbé vein during stent deployment.

Article Synopsis
- A 60-year-old patient with symptomatic indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) was studied, revealing all venous outflow routes absent except for an engorged left middle cerebral vein.
- The treatment involved a retrograde approach starting from the right femoral vein to successfully reach and embolize the CCFs using coils, with no complications.
- This case highlights a novel technique utilizing the trans-Labbé vein from a contralateral approach, which avoids difficult angles during the procedure, making it beneficial for similar cases.
Venous Sinus Stenting for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Report of Two Cases.

Department of Neurosurgery, Osaka Red Cross Hospital, Osaka, JPN.
Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition with high brain pressure that can severely affect vision, and its cause is often unknown.
- Recent studies suggest that venous sinus stenting (VSS) may be an effective treatment, as demonstrated by two young women who experienced quick relief from visual problems after the procedure.
- Both patients showed elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure and narrowed transverse sinuses, and after using stents to widen these sinuses, their symptoms and papilledema improved significantly right away.
Convexity dural arteriovenous fistula with Sylvian-Labbé collateral pattern: A case report.

Department of Neurosurgery, Hyogo College of Medicine, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan.
Convexity dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) is associated with high-grade dAVF and is usually presented with aggressive clinical presentation. Precise diagnosis and understanding the pathogenesis are important to achieving successful treatment without complications. We report a case of dAVF with Sylvian-Labbé collateral pattern, concerning embryological development that was thought to be involved in the vascular architecture and pathogenesis of dural AVF.

Background And Objectives: Access to the amygdala and hippocampus (A/H) is complex. To address the limitations and invasiveness of traditional approaches, including the Transsylvian, Subtemporal, and Supracerebellar infratentorial approaches, we developed the suprapetrous infratemporal (SPIT) approach. This study describes the nuances of this approach in both cadaveric studies and clinical cases.
