Inferior Anastomotic Vein
The inferior anastomotic vein (also known as the vein of Labbe) is one of several superficial cerebral veins. It is a large, highly variable 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. It drains adjacent cortical regions, gathering tributaries from minor veins of the temporal lobe The temporal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobe is involved in pr .... 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).

Superficial Cerebral Veins
The superficial cerebral veins are a group of cerebral veins in the head. The superficial veins of the brain are those veins that are close to the surface of the brain. This group includes the superior cerebral veins, the superficial middle cerebral vein, the inferior cerebral veins, the inferior anastomotic vein and the superior anastomotic vein. The superior group empty into the superior sagittal sinus, and inferior sagittal sinus, and the inferior group empty into the transverse sinuses The transverse sinuses (left and right lateral sinuses), within the human head, are two areas beneath the brain which allow blood to drain from the back of the head. They run laterally in a groove along the interior surface of the occipital bone ... and the cavernous sinuses. References Veins of the head and neck {{circulatory-stub ...

Temporal Lobe
The temporal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memory, language comprehension, and emotion association. ''Temporal'' refers to the head's temples. Structure The temporal lobe consists of structures that are vital for declarative or long-term memory. Declarative (denotative) or explicit memory is conscious memory divided into semantic memory (facts) and episodic memory (events). The medial temporal lobe structures are critical for long-term memory, and include the hippocampal formation, perirhinal cortex, parahippocampal, and entorhinal neocortical regions. The hippocampus is critical for memory formation, and the surrounding medial temporal cortex is currently theorized to be critical f ...

Anastomosis
An anastomosis (, : anastomoses) is a connection or opening between two things (especially cavities or passages) that are normally diverging or branching, such as between blood vessels, leaf veins, or streams. Such a connection may be normal (such as the foramen ovale in a fetus' heart) or abnormal (such as the patent foramen ovale in an adult's heart); it may be acquired (such as an arteriovenous fistula) or innate (such as the arteriovenous shunt of a metarteriole); and it may be natural (such as the aforementioned examples) or artificial (such as a surgical anastomosis). The reestablishment of an anastomosis that had become blocked is called a reanastomosis. Anastomoses that are abnormal, whether congenital or acquired, are often called fistulas. The term is used in medicine, biology, mycology, geology, and geography. Etymology Anastomosis: medical or Modern Latin, from Greek ἀναστόμωσις, anastomosis, "outlet, opening", Greek ana- "up, on, upon", stoma "mouth" ...

Middle Cerebral Vein
The middle cerebral veins - are the superficial and deep veins - that run along the lateral sulcus. The superficial middle cerebral vein is also known as the superficial Sylvian vein, and the deep middle cerebral vein is also known as the deep Sylvian vein. The lateral sulcus or lateral fissure, is also known as the Sylvian fissure. Superficial middle cerebral vein The superficial middle cerebral vein (superficial Sylvian vein) begins on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere, hemisphere. It runs along the lateral sulcus to empty into either the cavernous sinus, or the sphenoparietal sinus. It is adherent to the deep surface of the arachnoid mater bridging the lateral sulcus. It drains the adjacent cortex. Anastomoses At its posterior extremity, the superficial middle cerebral vein is connected with the superior sagittal sinus via the superior anastomotic vein, and with the transverse sinus via the inferior anastomotic vein. Deep middle cerebral vein The deep middl ...

Transverse Sinus
The transverse sinuses (left and right lateral sinuses), within the human head, are two areas beneath the brain which allow blood to drain from the back of the head. They run laterally in a groove for transverse sinus, groove along the interior surface of the occipital bone. They drain from the confluence of sinuses (by the internal occipital protuberance) to the sigmoid sinuses, which ultimately connect to the internal jugular vein.

Structure

The transverse sinuses are of large size and begin at the internal occipital protuberance; one, generally the right, being the direct continuation of the superior sagittal sinus, the other of the straight sinus. Each transverse sinus passes lateral and forward, desc ...

Charles Labbé
Charles Labbé (born 8 October 1851 in Merlerault; died 22 October 1889 in Paris) was a French surgeon, . He discovered what is now known as the vein of Labbé (inferior anastomotic vein) in his 3rd year of medical school. Biography He was the son of Alexandre Labbé (1823–1888) and Marie Chapey (1830–?), born in a small village in Normandy called Merlerault in the district of Orne, where his father was notary. He entered the medical faculty in Paris in 1871, probably inspired by his uncle, the surgeon Léon Labbé (1832–1916) who is remembered for Labbé's triangle. On 13 March 1882 Labbé defended his thesis for the medical doctorate. In 1885 he married Marie Eugenie Boussatón (1863–1891). They had one child, Suzanne, born 1889. Charles Labbé died shortly (three weeks) after the birth of his daughter. In 1879, the article entitled "''Note sur la circulation veineuse du cerveau et sur le mode de développement des corpuscules de Pacchioni''" was published in the "''A ...

Léon Labbé
Léon Labbé (29 September 1832 – 21 March 1916) was a French surgeon and politician who was born in the village of Le Merlerault in the department of Orne. He was an uncle to physician Charles Labbé (1851–1889), who first described the inferior anastomotic vein ("vein of Labbé"). From 1856 to 1860 Labbé was a hospital intern in Paris, and in 1861 earned his medical doctorate. Afterwards, he was a surgeon at several hospitals in Paris, including the Hôpital Beaujon, where he was chief-surgeon for many years. In 1879 he became a member of the Académie de Médecine. In 1892 he was elected to the Senate representing the department of Orne. In this role, he introduced various laws of interest to the medical community, including the 1914 ''Loi Labbé'' (Labbé Law), legislation that provided compulsory anti-typhoid vaccinations for French soldiers.

Superior Anastomotic Vein
The superior anastomotic vein, also known as the vein of Trolard, is a superficial cerebral vein grouped with the superior cerebral veins. The vein was named after the 18th-century anatomist Jean Baptiste Paulin Trolard. The vein anastomoses with the middle cerebral vein and the superior sagittal sinus The superior sagittal sinus (also known as the superior longitudinal sinus), within the human head, is an unpaired dural venous sinus lying along the attached margin of the falx cerebri. It allows blood to drain from the lateral aspects of the a .... Additional images File:Slide6Neo.JPG, Meninges and superficial cerebral veins. Deep dissection. Superior view.
