The ileo-sigmoid knot is a rare surgical entity, corresponding to the wrapping of the ileum around the base of the sigmoid colon forming a knot.An associated condition with a rapid progression to intestinal gangrene and high mortality. It is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction and especially during pregnancy. We report here the case of a patient at 13 weeks of amenorrhea with an ileo-sigmoid knot diagnosed at a late stage with fetal loss.
