Özet

INTRODUCTION Intertwining of bowel loops to form a knot is very rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Among intestinal knots, ileoileal knotting is the most rare, with only a handful of cases reported in literature. We present a rare case of ileoileal knotting and review of small bowel knots. The aim of this review was to summarise the existing evidence on small bowel knots and to postulate the possible mechanisms for knotting.
