Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy due to age, special circumstances including first pregnancy, low social status, low educational status and unwanted pregnancy. The goal was to study obstetric complications in adolescent girls at the HOSPITAL FOUSSEYNI DAOU DE KAYES. Methodology: This was a prospective, descriptive prospective study on obstetric complications in adolescents conducted at Fousseyni Daou Hospital in Kayes from January 01, 2018 to December 31, 2018. It had focused on adolescent girls who were pregnant, in labour or received in the aftermath of diapers who had a pathology or complications during the gravido-postpartum period. Data were collected from obstetric record, the birthing register, the operating record registry, the post-abortion care registry and maternal death audit reports. Results: During our study we recorded 1009 patients, 335 were adolescent girls who had an obstetric complication or a frequency of 33,20%. The 18-19 age group was the most represented with a frequency of 50.5%. 60.3% of adolescent girls gave birth by caesarean section. The main obstetric complications found were postpartum hemorrhage with a frequency of 37.8%, eclampsia with a frequency of 31.9% and acute fetal suffering with a frequency of 20, 2%. Conclusion: Adolescence is a very fragile time in a woman's life. This period exposes him to multiple complications which may have repercussions on the functioning of his body in the future.
