IIH Practitioner Webinar Series
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder of elevated pressure within the brain without an identifiable cause. The IIH Practitioner Series is designed for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-interventionalists, endovascular surgeons, interventionist radiologists, neuroradiologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and ENT specialists. Patients and caregivers are always welcome to attend.

Q&A with Neuro Ophthalmologist
September 8, 2025
Living with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can raise many questions about vision, treatment, and long-term management. This interactive webinar is designed to give patients, caregivers, and physicians the chance to hear from Dr. Mark Kupersmith, a neuro-ophthalmologist who specializes in caring for people with IIH.
The session will be moderated by Dr. Y. Pierre Gobin, professor of radiology in neurosurgery and neurology at the Weill Cornell Medical College and director of Interventional Neuroradiology at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Mark Kupersmith
Board-certified ophthalmologist
Mark J. Kupersmith, MD has joined Union Square Eye Care to continue the practice Neuro-Ophthalmology, providing diagnostic and management services to all patients and healthcare groups. He has decades of experience in treating and conducting research on a wide range of disorders, including optic neuritis, tumors, aneurysm and vascular malformations, ocular myasthenia gravis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, NAION, GCA, and diplopia and ptosis. He is known for problem solving for complex cases and unknown vision loss. He remains and has been on every regional best doctor list for more than 20 years and on the national Castle Connolly list for 25 years. He has been professor at three medical schools in New York City. He is the only neuro-ophthalmologist in the metropolitan region who has board certification in both ophthalmology and neurology.
Dr. Y Pierre Gobin
Professor of Radiology in Neurosurgery and Neurology, Weill Cornell Medical College and Director of Interventional Neuroradiology, New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center
is an internationally recognized expert in the field of interventional neuroradiology, with 20 years of experience in the treatment of vascular diseases of the brain, head and neck, and spine. A pioneer in endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms, Dr. Gobin has also developed and established minimally invasive surgical approaches to treat acute strokes.
Dr. Gobin completed his medical degree, internship and radiology residency at the University of Paris, France in 1988. He trained in interventional neuroradiology at Hospital Lariboisiere in Paris, where he performed the first GDC coil embolization in France, in a patient with a cerebral aneurysm.
Dr. Gobin was recruited by the Division of Interventional Neuroradiology of the University of California at Los Angeles in 1992, and was a member of the faculty there for nine years. While at UCLA, he participated in further clinical evaluation of GDC technology, which was invented at that institution. In recent years, he conceived the Concentric Retriever, an endovascular device for cerebral embolectomy to treat acute stroke. He is also the endovascular member of the team that developed intra arterial chemotherapy for the treatment of retinoblastoma.
Since 2001, Dr. Gobin is professor of radiology in neurosurgery and neurology at the Weill Cornell Medical College and director of Interventional Neuroradiology at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Gobin is the author of more than 100 articles and reviews pertaining to interventional neuroradiology.
