摘要：

Plastic bronchitis is a rare condition characterized by inspissated endobronchial casts that can lead to respiratory distress and even death. We present a case of plastic bronchitis in a previously healthy two-year-old girl. Bronchoscopy revealed the characteristic inspissated endobronchial cast. With removal of the obstructive airway debris, her clinical condition rapidlyimproved. Areview of the literaturewas performed to elucidate the etiology, pathogenesis, presentation, diagnosis, classification, and management of plastic bronchitis. Underlying etiologies include congenital heart disease, pulmonary disorders, and a few other conditions. Treatment includes rigid bronchoscopy with cast removal and treatment of the underlying condition. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
