Internet has become a practically indispensable resource in our lives, being able to access different contents of recreation and leisure, instrumental and academic, communication and social, among many others. One of the age groups that mostly use this resource are teenagers, and there is concern about the problematic use that this can achieve. The reference to behavioral addictions increasingly makes more sense in this area and the advances in science and information account for this. Regarding Internet addiction, it is important to determine the influential or risk factors for its appearance in the adolescent population given that it broadens the understanding of the phenomenon as its eventual prevention or approach. The aim of this review is to analyze the current scientific evidence on Internet addiction in adolescents and identify those elements that compose it as the related risk factors. The main results of this review show that internet addiction in adolescents is a current phenomenon, but with a complex delimitation and poorly agreed definition, which has important psychological consequences, and with the presence of multiple associated risk factors which can be organized as: individual, family and psychosocial.En la era actual, marcada por la globalización y la hiperconectividad, sumadas a las demandas etarias singulares de la adolescencia, la AI se instala como un fenómeno actual, mutable y preocupante que requiere de la atención social y científica.
