Normal roentgen anatomy, physiologic variations and pathologic changes of both shape and size of the right paratracheal stripe (RPS) are discussed. The broad spectrum of common and rare differential diagnosis of the pathologic RPS is demonstrated. There are space occupying lesions in the middle compartment of the upper mediastinum, originating from the trachea or the paratracheal tissue including lymph nodes, mediastinal hemorrhage and infection, goiter, vessels and opacifying processes in the adjacent lung and pleura. Under these conditions the RPS may be displaced, widened, irregularly or poorly delineated or obliterated. For correct interpretation clinical findings and history are mandatory.
本文讨论了右气管旁线（RPS）的正常X线解剖、生理变异以及形态和大小的病理变化。展示了病理性RPS广泛的常见和罕见鉴别诊断。上纵隔中间区存在占位性病变，其起源于气管或气管旁组织，包括淋巴结、纵隔出血和感染、甲状腺肿、血管以及相邻肺和胸膜的致密影。在这些情况下，RPS可能会移位、增宽、轮廓不规则或不清或消失。为了做出正确的解读，临床发现和病史是必不可少的。
