The aim of this study was to report a clinical case of ileocaecal node in the visceral surgery department of Donka. The ileosigmoid node or the ileosigmoid knot (ISK), is an exceptional clinical entity, it is a surgical emergency characterized by strangulation of the small intestine forming a knot around the base of the sigmoid colon with risk of rapid necrosis of the small intestine. And the colon. The preoperative diagnosis of this condition is difficult because of its rarity and atypical radiographic results. We report a case of an ileosigmoid node discovered in a 62-year-old subject who consulted in our department for an occlusive syndrome.
