Abstract
Bronchial webs are rare lesions which often go unrecognized. A 36- year- old female was admitted to our hospital for recurrent cough and dyspnea. A diagnosis of bronchial asthma was made and she was treated with conventional therapy. She did not respond to drug therapy. On the physical examination, there was localized wheezing on the left lung field. By the bronchogram, we found a membrane-like structure in the left main bronchus. A bronchoplasty was performed and now the patient leads her normal life without any medications for asthma.
Key Words: Web, Stenosis, Bronchoplasty
