English abstract The authors evaluated forty-three patients with clinical suspect of lumbar radiculopathy caused by disk hernia, concerning to clinical semiology, computed tomography and electromyography were studied and their correlations. The clinical semiology was altered in 100,0% of the patients, the computed tomography in 90,7% and the electromyography in 88,7%. The correlation among the three exams didn´t show any prevalency among any of the possible associations. The authors emphasize the importance of clinical semiology, computed tomography and electromyography for a more accurate diagnosis of lumbar radiculopathy following by disk hernia

A semiologia clínica estava alterada em 100,0% dos pacientes, a tomografia axial computadorizada em 90,7% e a eletroneuromiografia em 88,7%. A correlação entre os três exames não mostrou prevalência entre nenhuma associação. Os autores enfatizam a importância da semiologia clínica, tomografia axial computadorizada e eletroneuromiografia para maior exatidão diagnóstica das radiculopatias lombares por hérnia de disco
