Drug trafficking and body packing, case series and brief review: an afternoon experience

The use of intracorporeal containers is a frequent method for drug trafficking, particularly in regions of the extreme north of our country, close to the borders.Our objective is to evaluate the radiological characteristics of body packing that occurs in our hospital, using a retrospective cohort that occurred in a single afternoon.It is important to be aware of these signs that, although sometimes subtle, can have important implications given the clinical urgency of the diagnosis, as well as its medicolegal relevance.
