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.
