The authors consider the evolution of the treatment of leprotic neuritis based on homogenous series of numerous observations (a minimum of 250-300). These observations are well registered and documented with some results dimensioned by the classical A. L. E. R. T. tests carried out at intervals of time and verified by comparison between series only medical treatment and series of medico-surgical treatment. Considering some remote results and some comparative series, the indications of the exclusive medical treatment have been well defined, and the ones of the surgical decompression have been reduced. The early case finding of a leprotic neuritis by the mean of easy methods as well as its monitoring during its early specific treatment is essential. By this way we get an important proportion of functional results: satisfactory (50 p.c.) or interesting (20 p.c.). In the case of painful hypertrophia, the complementary decompression secure not only the functional recovery of mortricity, but also the epicritic sensibility.
