In the ER, he experienced a generalised seizure. Neurological examination was non-focal. Noncontrast CT brain revealed bandlike high attenuation along the course of the left vein of Labbe (figure 1). Findings suggested vein of Labbe thrombosis and were confirmed with MRI and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) (figure 2).Figure 1 Noncontrast CT brain (cephalad to caudad in A–D) revealing bandlike high attenuation suggestive of thrombus along the expected course of the left vein of Labbe (arrows). Figure 2 MRI and magnetic resonance venography of vein of Labbe thrombosis. An extra-axial band corresponding to the thrombosed vein of Labbe is isointense on T1-weighted imaging … ER -
