It accepts original papers on clinical and experimental research that are pertinent in the biomedical sciences. The Journal is published 4 issues/year (i.e., Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec). Plastic bronchitis is an uncommon pathologic cast formation in the tracheobronchial tree. A bronchial cast can cause a range of conditions ranging from mild to severe that can lead to airway obstruction. We describe a previously healthy one-year-old boy who developed acute left lung atelectasis and respiratory distress due to plastic bronchitis. He pre- sented with a high-grade fever and productive cough. His chest x-ray showed total left lung atelectasis. His condition did not rule out the presence of a foreign body in the airway or an obstruction due to secretion. Plastic bronchitis ob- structing the left main bronchus was diagnosed and removed by rigid bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy was crucial in this case for both diagnosis and therapeutic cast removal; however, understanding of the regulation of mucus production and clearance is vital for the prevention of new secretion obstructions. 2020-05-20T04:41:49Z 2020-05-20T04:41:49Z 2020 Chiang Mai Medical Journal 59,1 (January-March 2020), น.29-32 0125-5983 https://he01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/CMMJ-MedCMJ/article/view/240528/163712 http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/68632 Eng Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University
