Abstract
This case report presents 2 asthma patients showing true restrictive ventilatory pattern in a prolonged period of uncontrolled disease. Lung function was fully reversible only after a course of oral steroids. The restrictive pattern might be due to mucoid impaction of multiple peripheral bronchioles closing them completely up. Initially trapped air could have been resorbed by the pores of Kohn.
