Ileosigmoid knot: case report and CT findings

Y Hirano et al. Abdom Imaging. 2005 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Ileosigmoid knot (ISK) is an unusual clinical entity of small bowel obstruction in which the ileum wraps around the base of the sigmoid colon and forms a pseudo-knot. We present the case of a 75-year-old male in whom ISK was the definitive computed tomographic finding. ISK should be considered in differential diagnosis of patients who present with ileus.
