A 60 year-old-female with bronchial asthma, presented with breathing difficulty and cough.
Chest auscultation revealed B/L wheeze and decreased breath sounds in the right lower interscapular and infrascapular areas. Her chest radiograph showed a right lower lobe collapse. CT chest confirmed the presence of collapse. Bronchoscopy showed a mucus plug in the right lower lobe bronchus causing complete obstruction of the airway and leading to lung collapse. After clearing the mucus plugs, her symptoms improved.
