Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Intestinal knotting is a rare cause of bowel obstruction.
  • Existing literature documents various forms, including ileosigmoid and ileal-ileal knots.

Observation:

  • A unique case of an appendico-ileal knot is presented.
  • A long, inflamed appendix encircled a segment of the ileum, leading to a closed loop obstruction.

Findings:

  • This appendico-ileal knot represents a previously unreported variant of intestinal knotting.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scanning proved crucial in the pre-operative diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of intestinal knot syndromes.
  • Emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging like CT scans for diagnosing rare causes of bowel obstruction.
