Abstract

Ilio- adnexal knotting is one of the rarest causes of intestinal obstruction. In fact, we have yet to find a single paper describing the phenomenon. The commonly (common in its relative sense) described types of knottings are Ilio-Ileal, Ilio-sigmoid and Ilio-ceccal, which can cause acute abdomen and intestinal obstruction.

Keywords: Ilio- adnexal knotting, Abdomen, Amenorrheic, Abdomino-pelvic mass, Ovarian tumor, Anemia
