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

Since pre independence era, Indian railways network across the country has shown a phenomenal development and exerted a strong impact over the transportation and economic development of the country in a positive way. The increase in Population of the country has led to an increase in the railway traffic which in turn has contributed to an increase in unnatural deaths due to railway mishaps. The incidence of deaths due to Railway accidents constitutes a significant group of transportation related morbidities and mortalities amounting to 7.6% [2008] of all the accidental deaths occurring in the country. In the light of the above, the present study was conducted to assess the impact of the railway traffic accidents occurring in the Khammam region of Andhra pradesh. The present study shows that males were predominantly involved in accidental as well as suicidal railway related deaths. Majority of the victims were in the age group of 30-39 yrs and belonged to Hindu religion. The exact identity in few of the cases could not be made out. The incidence of railway accidents was seen to be more during the day time and occurred usually within town limits. Most of the affected persons died on the spot due to the injuries that they sustained.Keywords
