Ileosigmoid knotting (ISK) is difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to its rarity and uncommon presentation. It has a high mortality rate; hence early diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention are required. This report describes a case in an 80-year-old male patient with gangrenous ileal loops and sigmoid colon and was managed with resection of gangrenous bowel loops and double stoma, Patient was discharged with a functional stoma and good well-being and was further followed up.
