Abstract : The condition progresses rapidly to gangrenous bowel with generalized peritonitis and sepsis causing high mortality. It is difficult to establish a diagnosis of double closed loop obstruction in plain xradiograph. Ileosigmoid knot (ISK) is a rare but life-threatening cause of intestinal obstruction, which needs to be differentiated from a simple sigmoid volvulus, as endoscopic reduction is a contraindication in ISK. Preoperative CT scan can aid diagnosis and prompt treatment can deliver good outcome.
