title: [Ileo-sigmoid knot. 16 cases].
abstract: A retrospective study of 16 cases of ileo sigmoid knot, treated at Treichville Hospital in Abidjan Côte-d'Ivoire, is reported by the authors between 1970 and 1989. This pathology is not so seldom and concerned 14 men and 2 women from 14 years old to 61 years old with an average of 42 years. The more precise description of the physiopathology of this occlusion allows to classify this pathology as an independent entity from the other types of volvulus. The physiopathologic knowledge described allow a more precise diagnostic approach and a better codified therapeutic attitude.
