Abstract:
Ileosigmoid knotting (ISK), also known as compound volvulus, is a rare surgical emergency leading to intestinal obstruction. It is extremely rare in pregnant women and
is a fatal disease due to rapid gangrene caused by delay of diagnosis and management. Early determination of the disease and management is very important to serve the maternal and fetal life. We present a rare case of ISK in a 30-year-old, 38-week pregnant woman whose diagnosis was confirmed during operation.
