Plastic bronchitis is a rare disorder in pediatric age. This disease can cause life-threatening episodes. Broncoscopy plus bronchial lavage is considered the gold standard therapeutic technique. Knowledge of this disease is mandatory to perform correct diagnosis and provide prompt treatment. The authors report the history of a 5-year-old girl affected by plastic bronchitis who was successfully treated by a conservative therapy avoiding the traditional more invasive management.
