A posterior urethral valve is an obstructing membrane in the posterior part of male urethra leading to renal failure and death occurring in 1:5000 to 8000 male live births. The incidence of intrauterine deaths related to posterior urethral valve is under reported. The cause for the occurrence is unclear. Posterior Urethral Valve syndrome is a syndrome of obstructive uropathy resulting in hypertrophy of bladder, ureters and dysplasia of the kidneys. Prenatal ultrasonography is a gold standard diagnostic tool. The fetal autopsy conducted over the case presented here demonstrates all the classical findings of the obstructive uropathy (renal dysplasia, hydronephrosis, bladder hypertrophy, hydro ureters). The case reiterates the importance of prenatal ultrasonography and meticulous fetal autopsy to determine the cause of intra uterine fetal death.Keywords

Infliction of cut-throat injuries with the intention of homicide or suicide is common in India. The main features that differentiate the homicidal and suicidal cut-throat injuries are the presence of hesitation cuts, depth of the wound, signs of struggle, edges of the wound, etc. Presence of injuries that are contradicting with the classical descriptions provided in the standard literature were found in a couple suffering from psychiatric illness, which is the highlight of this case report.Keywords
