The inferior anastomotic vein (also known as the vein of Labbe) is one of several superficial cerebral veins.[citation needed] It is a large,[1] highly variable[citation needed] vein extending across the lateral hemispheric surface of the temporal lobe to form an anastomosis between the superficial middle cerebral vein and transverse sinus, opening into either at either end.[1] It drains adjacent cortical regions, gathering tributaries from minor veins of the temporal lobe.[citation needed]
History
It was named after the 19th century French surgeon Charles Labbé (1851–1889), the nephew of the surgeon and politician Léon Labbé (1832–1916).
