Luftsichel sign


Seen in some cases of left upper lobe collapse, it is due to hyperinflation of apical segment of left lower lobe, interposing itself between the mediastinum and the collapsed left upper lobe.

The right lung seemed to be hyperinflated as well. Left lung volume is smaller. Mediastinum shift is observed.
