Welcome,
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), formerly known as Psuedotumor Cerebri is a rare condition where the pressure in the skull increases for no obvious reason. The symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor, but no tumor is present. IIH can lead to vision loss and blindness related to swelling of the optic nerve (papilledema). Symptoms may include headache behind the eyes, ringing in the ears in time with heartbeat, and brief episodes of blindness (blackouts). September is the awareness month for IIH and it’s represented by a blue and green ribbon. In September we wear blue and green!!!
NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE!
About Us
The IIH Champ Foundation is a new non- profit organization that is dedicated to support the medical research of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
IIH Champ Foundation was established in 2023 by Tanya Ward, after she was diagnosed with IIH in 2017. She decided to start a non- profit foundation. Our goal is to discover why does Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension happens, and research new effective treatments as well. We provide encouragement for those living with IIH, their families and supporters. The IIH Champ Foundation is a tax exempt 501(C)3, non- profit organization, administered by a volunteer Board of Directors.
