A Case With Prepontine (Clival) Arachnoid Cyst Manifested as Trigeminal Neuralgia

Most cases of “idiopathic” trigeminal neuralgia are thought to originate from vascular compression of the trigeminal root entry zone. In this case, we describe a young man presenting with the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia associated with a prepontine (clival) arachnoid cyst.
