Plastic bronchitis is characterised by the formation of large bronchial casts, which develop in the tracheobronchial tree and can cause airway obstruction. It has been increasingly encountered in more recent years as a serious complication of the Fontan operation with a reported mortality of up to 50% [Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 155 (1997) 364]. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl with Fontan circulation who developed plastic bronchitis and was successfully treated.
塑性支气管炎的特征是形成大的支气管铸型,这些铸型在气管支气管树中形成,可导致气道阻塞。近年来,作为Fontan手术的一种严重并发症,塑性支气管炎越来越多地被发现,据报道死亡率高达50%[《美国呼吸与危重症医学杂志》155(1997)364]。我们报告一例患有Fontan循环的4岁女孩发生塑性支气管炎并成功治愈的病例。
