"It is eponymously named after French surgeon Charles Labbé (1851-1889) who described it in his 3rd year of medical school in 1879 1. He published an article on the venous circulation of the brain when supervised by the prominent surgeon Paul Jules Tillaux, describing the inferior anastomotic vein and its relationship with the superior anastomotic vein, which had earlier been described by the French doctor and anatomist Jean Baptiste Paulin Trolard 5."
