The gastrointestinal tract is being used to an increasing extent as a route for smuggling narcotics. Small, swallowed packages overwrapped with condoms or other materials are usually not detected by the customs authorities. Conventional abdominal radiography may indicate foreign bodies surrounded by a characteristic thin layer of gas and located in the gastrointestinal tract. Some short case histories, and the radiologic findings in four heroin 'body packers' are presented.

A 27-year-old Columbian male was arrested in Aix la Chapelle at the border to Belgium, as he was suspected, of smuggling drugs in his body. Ultrasonographic and radiographic examinations revealed numerous packets in the colon descendens and the ampulla recti. After administration of laxatives, 70 packets were excreted that had been swallowed 3 days before in Bogota, Columbia. Each packet consisted of two rubber bags that were separately knotted with cord, layers of plastic foil, two further knotted rubber bags; the pressed core of cocaine was an average 3.8 cm in length, 1.9 cm in diameter, and 10.2 g in weight. The cocaine hydrochloride content ranged from 75.7% to 100%, with an average of 81.9%. The total net weight came to 714 g. Urine analysis revealed no cocaine metabolites, but metamizole and metamizole metabolites were present as a result of administration of Buscopan compositum during the flight to prevent premature excretion of the packets.
