ABSTRACT
A case of obturation obstruction is reported in a 34-year-ol narcotics smuggler. The typical diagnostic features of the presence of narcotics-filled packets in the gastrointestinal tract on the abdominal radiographs are highlighted. This should serve to alert physicians to this unusual aspect of the narcotics problem which, according to press reports, is gaining in significance in the Caribbean today
