Objective: to describe neurological clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with lumbar disk herniations (LDH). Subjects and Methods: a prospective study with analysis, cross-sectional descriptive study and comparison among 50 patients diagnosed LDH. Patients treated at the Department of Neurology, 103 Hospital from Mar to Aug 2013. Results: mean age of patients in the study was 49.32 +/- 9.52. Female/male ratio was 1.511. Pain spreading along the sciatic nerve was occurred in 100 percent of LDH patients Symptoms of lumbar spine syndrome: spinal pain points (96.0 percent). Symptoms of lumbar - sacral nerve root syndrome: Paravertebral pain points (accounting for 88.0 percent). On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): the rate of patient who had only a herniated disc was the highest (62.0 percent). Patients with multiple herniated discs accounted for 38.0 percent, mainly having hemiated disc at L4-L5 and L5-S1 (accounting for 32.0 percent). The most common type of LDH was Postero-Iaterallesion (accounting for 70.0 percent). Partially spinal stenosis was the most common level, accounting for 60.0 percent. Conclusions: mainly symptoms of LDH include: pain spreading along the sciatic neNe, spinal pain points, paravertebral pain points. On MRI: mostly only a herniated disc, postero-Iaterallesion was the most common.
