A "madd"-ening confounding: fruit seeds mimicking enteral drug concealment by computed tomography

Wiener, Brian G; Burton, Rebecca L; Smith, Silas W; Su, Mark K; Biary, Rana; Tay, Ee Tein
OBJECTIVE/UNASSIGNED:To highlight the similarity between madd fruit seeds and enteral drug concealment ("body packing") on computed tomography when evaluated by Hounsfield Units. CASE REPORT/UNASSIGNED:) seeds, which can cause bezoar formation and intestinal obstruction.
