title: Bronchial cast: a case report.
abstract: We present a case of a child who presented with respiratory distress mimicking foreign body aspiration which was treated by bronchoscopic extraction of bronchial cast. Early interventional bronchoscopy in management of plastic bronchitis, though difficult, provides an immediate benefit and good prognosis especially in patients with no underlying cardiopulmonary morbidity.
