TENC Neurocirurgia study guide
TENC Neurocirurgia · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The TENC - Prova de Título de Especialista em Neurocirurgia - is the title examination in neurosurgery listed on the website of the Sociedade Brasileira de Neurocirurgia (SBN), where it appears as "TENC 2026" alongside the Prova de Recuperação and Prova de Progresso under the SBN examinations area. It is intended for neurosurgeons seeking specialist title recognition and for residents completing accredited neurosurgery training who are preparing to sit the title exam. The available official source confirms only the exam's name and its presence in SBN's examinations section; it does not publish question counts, duration, passing score, fee, format, retake rules, or validity period. Because the exam covers neurosurgery as a whole, preparation should be built around the full specialty curriculum: cranial and spinal trauma, neuro-oncology, vascular neurosurgery, pediatric neurosurgery, functional and stereotactic surgery, spine degenerative disease, hydrocephalus, peripheral nerve, and neurocritical care. A practical study plan combines structured review of core textbooks and the SBN's own educational offerings, such as the Curso Nacional dos Residentes and CETENC-related preparatory activities listed on the site, with repeated practice on clinical reasoning and image interpretation. Candidates should treat this page as an orientation summary only and confirm dates, registration, and eligibility directly with the SBN, since no such details are stated in the source reviewed. Topics on this exam: Neurocirurgia (conteúdo não especificado na fonte). The TENC Neurocirurgia study guide has 1 section and about 411 words.
01Neurocirurgia: Fundamentos Integrados para a Prova TENC
A prova de Neurocirurgia cobra raciocínio clínico-cirúrgico mais do que memorização isolada. Os temas centrais são: neuroanatomia aplicada (vascularização, ventrículos, cisternas, fossa posterior), semiologia neurológica e escala de coma de Glasgow, hipertensão intracraniana e sua cascata fisiopatológica, traumatismo cranioencefálico e raquimedular, doenças cerebrovasculares (HSA por aneurisma, hematoma intraparenquimatoso, malformações), tumores do sistema nervoso central, hidrocefalia, patologias degenerativas da coluna e princípios de técnica cirúrgica e cuidados perioperatórios. Domine a doutrina de Monro-Kellie e a curva pressão-volume: pequenos aumentos de volume são compensados por deslocamento de LCR e sangue, mas após o ponto de descompensação a pressão intracraniana sobe de forma exponencial. Entenda a diferença entre herniação subfalcina, transtentorial (uncina) e tonsilar, e as síndromes clínicas correspondentes.
