Résumé
Peripheral conduction blocks caused by compression or trauma are common pathologies but still their mechanism and the prognosis remain unclear. Many recent studies have provided new information about the underlying mechanisms influencing immediate and long-term prognosis. However, no publication made the link between new knowledge and clinical observations. Over the last years we have seen many clinical situations where clinical evolution and long-term prognosis did not correspond to what was generally recognized and expectable according to common surgical practice and literature. This paper aims to determine the underlying mechanisms that influence both the clinical status and prognosis of patients with compressive conduction blocks treated by neurolysis. We will also try to determine if the temporal window during which surgery improves the prognosis significantly, could be extended.
