The body packing represents an illegal drug trafficking practice across the borders of certain countries. It has experienced enormous growth in recent years. The medical literature is rich in publications interested in body packaging of cocaine or heroin with sometimes lethal consequences. However, reported cases of cannabis body packing appear to be rare, sometimes underestimated, despite the notoriety of cannabis in the illegal drug market and its wide consumption around the world. We report in this work a forensic case of a cannabis body packer deceased due toa stercoral peritonitis secondary to a double perforation of thesigmoid and rectal colon.
人体藏毒代表了某些国家边境的一种非法贩毒行为。近年来,它有了巨大的增长。医学文献中有很多关于可卡因或海洛因人体藏毒的出版物,有时会产生致命的后果。然而,据报道,大麻人体藏毒的案例似乎很少见,有时还被低估了,尽管大麻在非法毒品市场上声名狼藉,而且在世界各地广泛消费。我们在这项工作中报告了一个法医学案例,一名大麻人体藏毒者因乙状结肠和直肠双重穿孔导致粪性腹膜炎而死亡。
