Ileosigmoid knot (ISK) is a very infrequent and unusual reason of intestinal obstruction and treated as a
surgical emergency. In this disorder ileum usually encircled around base of sigmoid colon and make a
pseudo knot. ISK is very infrequent disorder in Western countries as compared to Asian countries. Its
diagnosis is very difficult because it's a rare disease with limited sensitive and specific diagnostic tests
available, hence it's only found intraoperative; that results in high mortality.
