Abstract

Post mortem examination has important value in case of railway accidents when the thoracic injury are incorporated. There were so many statistical data present which had defined the thoracic injury but no statistical data is observed regarding the traumatic lesion of the vital organs in thoracic region in cases of Railway traffic accident deaths. This significant oversight can lead to find out the exact cause of death in cases of railway traffic accidents. It can help to improve the hospital emergency centre as far as concerned to abdominal injuries victims in case of Railway traffic Accidents.  Observations made were compared with theprevious studies.The study period extended from the 1st JUNE2012 to 31st OCTOBER 2014. During this two (2) years period, a total number of 867 Autopsies were carried out in the department of Forensic Medicine, out of which, 74 cases of railway accident were selected for evaluation in the present study. Approval of local institutional ethical committee has been taken. It has been observed that abdominal fatalities are quite common and their correlation done with other authors.
