Introduction: pregnancy-induced hypertension is one of the most common complications of pregnancy and is responsible for a significant percentage of both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods: The present is a descriptive, correlational, retrospective study with the aim of describing hypertensive disorders and their most frequent complications that occur during adolescent pregnancy. Results: It was found that of the 13-17 age group, 29% of the cases attended in the emergency and hospitalisation areas were able to receive emergency care in the hospital areas, while 71% received timely referral and care in tertiary hospital units. Conclusions: 92% of the screened cases were diagnosed as pre-eclampsia in its different variants, 7% of the cases were admitted as gestational hypertension and only 1% of the cases attended were registered as eclampsia.
