    Garcin’s syndrome secondary to rectal carcinoma in a Nigerian child
    (Walters Kluwer, 2017) Ademuyiwa, AO; Sowande, OA; Adetiloye, OJ; Adejuyigbe, O
    Colorectal carcinoma in childhood is rare in spite of the rising prevalence of the condition in the African population. Even rarer is the occurrence of multiple cranial nerve paralysis simulating Garcin’s syndrome in this age group. This report discusses a case of an 11‑year‑old boy who presented to our unit with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the rectum with cerebral metastasis and multiple cranial nerve paralysis suggestive of Garcin’s syndrome. Challenges in management were highlighted, and we reviewed the literature on colorectal carcinoma in children.

    Survey of teaching, research and conference experiences of paediatric surgical trainees in Nigeria
    (MedKnow, 2011) Ademuyiwa, AO; Ameh, EA; Bode, CO; Adejuyigbe, O
    Aim: To determine the teaching methods used by residents in paediatric surgery in Nigeria and their exposure to research and conferences. Materials and methods: A structured questionnaire was administered to trainees in paediatric surgery in Nigeria seeking information regarding different teaching methods used, frequency of use, involvement in research and participation in conferences. Results: There were 11 respondents (91.6%) of 12 questionnaires that were distributed. All of them were training in accredited teaching hospitals in Nigeria. All of them had been involved in teaching medical students. Ten residents were involved in teaching in wards/bedside two times or more in a week and all were involved in teaching at the clinics. Only one resident used audiovisual aid at least once a week to teach students. Eight trainees used tutorial or seminar group discussion as a teaching tool once a week. Four trainees had not used written essay as a way of teaching students while five had never given students lectures in a classroom before. All the respondents had participated in retrospective research while nine had been involved in prospective research. Nine residents had attended conferences nationally while two had attended international conferences. Six trainees presented a paper or more at national conferences while one presented at an international conference. Conclusion: Trainees in paediatric surgery in Nigeria are significantly involved in the teaching of undergraduate medical students and clinical research. This should be encouraged and further enhanced by motivating the trainees to attend international conferences.
