“…By means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), posterior leukoencephalopathy can be observed, pre-Malignant arterial hypertension is actually an underdiagnosed pathology due to the lack of exploration of the fundus, however, it is of great clinical importance when hypertensive retinopathy occurs, this is secondary to the abrupt elevation of blood pressure in approximately 5-10% of the cases, it is detected when performing the ophthalmological examination finding hemorrhages and/or exudates which represent the ischemic or hemorrhagic lesion, papillary edema can also be observed [11].…”

Introduction: Hypertensive crisis is one of the main complications of systemic arterial hypertension, which is defined as severe elevation of blood pressure, with figures of more than 220/130 mmHg, these in turn are divided into urgency and emergency, which occurs when there is damage to a target organ. According to the literature, the majority of hypertensive crises that occur are of an urgency type, reported in up to 80% of cases, the latter do not require a rapid decrease in blood pressure, taking up to 72 hours to control them, so they must be treated in a first-level care unit, however, a high number of referrals to the emergency department for hypertensive crisis of an urgency type have been detected, which have no justification for their referral. Primary objective:To determine the frequency of unjustified referrals of adult patients with hypertensive crisis to the emergency department of a second-level hospital.
