Introduction:
Gastropleural fistula (GPF) is a communication between the stomach and
pleural that might occur in adult patients as a complication of sleeve
gastrectomy (SG) which is a widely accepted weight reduction surgery1,2. In our literature review, we found 5 reports of
pediatric GPF and none of those cases were related to bariatric weight
reduction surgery (Table 1). We report the first pediatric GPF secondary
to SG.
