IIH Awareness Month Community Chat

September 8, 2023

In honor of Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) Awareness Month, we dedicated our September webinar to spotlight anyone who has IIH. We are so grateful for those who were able to attend our chat session and open up about their medical journey.

We hosted Ashley Carter who has battled with IIH for the past 3 years and is now well-controlled with Diamox. Dr. Pierre Gobin, a Neurointerventionalist from Weill Cornell in New York moderated the session and answered any medically-related questions. Dr. Brian Snelling, who is a neurosurgeon in South Florida, explained some of the current diagnostic tools and surgical treatment options for IIH.
