Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted by researchers at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the United Kingdom has shed light on a rare complication of interstitial lung disease (ILD) called spontaneous cerebral air embolism. The researchers found that air can enter the cerebral arterial circulation from the pulmonary venous circulation through a bronchovenous fistula or in cases of pulmonary barotrauma in deep-sea diving. This case study provides new insights into the mechanism of stroke in ILD patients and has not been previously described. For more information, the full research article can be accessed through the European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine. [Extracted from the article]
