Basically I can have a 2D geometry from the segmentation, one example of my script output is on the file 2Dtest_nerve.geo, basically when I mesh it using a simple 'gmsh -2 2Dtest....' everything is fine.

The resulting geometry is exactly as I expected nevertheless I have problems when computing the 3D mesh... I have a lot or error named 'Could not find extruded vertex'. I guess it is a classic error, I tried to compute the distance between the nearest point for each point and give a lc that would increase the density but I still have these errors...the currious thing is that when I open the mesh to see where are the missing elements, I find them all in certain parts of the last layer from the extrusion.

Recent versions (>= 2.9) should fix this. This is what I get with the latest stable release:
