Discussion:

The patient presented with severe epigastric pain, fever, and tachycardia shortly after a sleeve gastrectomy. The clinical presentation and CT features are in keeping with staple line leakage mostly at the gastro-esophageal junction. Leak after sleeve gastrectomy often occurs in the first few days postoperative due to failure of staple line complete closure.
