Abstract :
Ileosigmoid knotting (ISK), which is a double-segment intestinal obstruction form, is a very rare disease and its correct diagnosis is not easy in the preoperative period (1–3). To determine the diagnostic efficiency of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in ISK, the data of 76 patients, who were treated over a 47-year period between June 1966 and June 2013, were used. All patients were evaluated by abdominal X-rays, and some stable patients were also evaluated by CT or MRI, particularly in the recent years.
