A retrospective analysis of the plain abdominal films of 53 "body packer" drug smugglers was performed to ascertain the importance of radiographic studies in the diagnosis and management of these patients. Eighty-nine percent had studies diagnostic for foreign body ingestion. Multiple, well-defined, homogeneous oval or oblong densities, especially if surrounded by a crescent of air (double-condom sign), are key findings. If these densities were found in the proximal ascending colon or upper gastrointestinal tract, the diagnosis was almost assured. Six percent of patients exhibited complications suggested on serial radiographs, proving the necessity for follow-up studies until complete expulsion or removal of the foreign body. Radiologic evaluation is essential in the diagnosis and management of the cocaine smuggler.
对53名“人体藏毒者”毒品走私犯的腹部平片进行了回顾性分析，以确定影像学检查在这些患者的诊断和管理中的重要性。89%的检查结果可诊断为异物摄入。多个边界清晰、均匀的椭圆形或长方形密度影，特别是如果被一圈气体包围（双避孕套征），是关键发现。如果这些密度影出现在升结肠近端或上消化道，则几乎可以确诊。6%的患者在系列X线片上显示有并发症，这证明有必要进行随访检查，直到异物完全排出或取出。放射学评估在可卡因走私者的诊断和管理中至关重要。
