Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Anatomy
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Intestinal knot syndromes are rare but serious conditions.
  • Previous literature documents ileoileal, ileosigmoid, and appendico-ileal knots.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of an ileocecal knot.
  • This specific anatomical variation has not been previously documented in medical literature.

Findings:

  • The ileocecal knot represents a new subtype of intestinal knot syndrome.
  • Specific computed tomography (CT) findings suggestive of ileocecal knot syndrome are presented.

Implications:

  • Recognition of this new variant aids in accurate diagnosis.
  • Understanding CT features can improve early detection and management of intestinal knot syndromes.
