Résumé
Gastropleural fistula (GPF) is a pathological communication between stomach and pleural cavity. GPF is described rarely in adults following bariatric surgery, iatrogenic perforations, complicated empyema thoracis, penetrating chest trauma, perforated malignant gastric ulcers, and invasive tumors. GPF in children is extremely rare. The authors describe a female child with leukemia, who presented with left-sided pneumonia and chylothorax. After a delay of around 3 wk she was diagnosed with GPF, which was due to a perforated gastric ulcer induced by high-dose steroids which she was receiving as chemotherapy. She was managed with repair of GPF and had a favorable outcome.
