Abstract
Plastic bronchitis (PB) is a recurrent inflammation of the bronchi, characterized by the formation of fibrin-rich rubber-like secretions that obstruct the airways.
Aim. The authors present a rare case of PB in a 67-year-old woman who had been receiving treatment for bronchial asthma for 20 years. This case was complicated by the development of persistent atelectasis and saccular bronchiectasis of the left lower lobe requiring surgical treatment.
Conclusion. Removal of the rubbery contents of the bronchi by bronchoscopy provides a temporary effect only. Surgical treatment is advisable with a progressive course of the disease.
