This is retrospective analytical study conducted in Dr D Y Patil Hospital Kolhapur during the period Jan 2015 to april 2017.Out of 3475 singleton births 51 intrauterine death cases were recorded.  Risk factors identified were Preeclampsia(21.56%), IUGR(19.6%),severe anaemia (15.68%), oligohydramnios(13.72%), hypothyroidism(11.76%), premature rupture of memanes (11.76%), patients on gardinal, alfadopa,labet (11.76%)  Auptio placenta(9.8%) postdatism(9.8%),two loops of cord around neck (9.8%),eclampsia(1.96%),feile illnesses, true knots, epilepsy(1.96%) Conclusion: The most common maternal causes for IUFD were hypertensive disorder,IUGR and anemia. Early identification of clinical risk factors will prevent IUFD to some extent hence cannot be overlooked.
