摘要：

Computed tomography (CT) imaging has been touted as one of the best techniques to detect body packets in body packers and stuffers, The majority of experience has been with body packers. We describe a case of a body stuffer who presented with abdominal pain after ingesting a large packet containing multiple smalt packets, with a falsely negative abdominal CT scan without contrast. This case raises questions regarding the best method of detection of body packets in body stuffers, (Am J Emerg Med 1999;17:702-704, Copyright (C) 1999 by W.B. Saunders Company).
