    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Pediatric Critical Care

    Background:

    • Plastic bronchitis is a rare pediatric condition.
    • It is characterized by the formation of bronchial casts.
    • Clinical presentations can mimic other respiratory illnesses like pneumonitis.

    Observation:

    • Three children presented with bronchial casts.
    • Symptoms included status asthmaticus, suspected foreign body, and lung opacification.
    • Bronchoscopy revealed a white, cheesy material filling the tracheobronchial tree.

    Findings:

    • The bronchial cast material was difficult to remove via bronchoscopy.
    • Pathologic examination showed layers of inspissated mucus and inflammatory cells.
    • One child developed bronchiectasis despite multiple bronchoscopies.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing plastic bronchitis.
    • Suggests the need for effective removal strategies for bronchial casts.
    • Emphasizes potential long-term respiratory complications like bronchiectasis.
