Abstract
The Luftsichel is a paramediastinal translucency due to interposition of the apex of the lower lobe between the mediastinum and the shrunken upper lobe. It occurs more commonly on the left than the right. It is so common on the left that it should be regarded as the typical appearance. It is to be distinguished from mediastinal hernia.Entities:
