Interstitial emphysema - what does this mean
Interstitial emphysema occurs when air enters the tissue of the lungs between the air sacs (alveoli) and the surrounding tissue, causing the tissue to swell and become inflamed. this can lead to difficulty breathing and pain in the chest.
What happens during the disease - interstitial emphysema
Interstitial emphysema is a condition in which air leaks from the lungs into the interstitial tissue surrounding them, causing the tissue to become distended and compressed. this is usually caused by a disruption in the normal pulmonary airways, such as a bronchial tear or blockage, which allows air to escape from the lungs into the surrounding tissue. this can lead to a decrease in blood oxygen levels, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms.
