Overview
Pathophysiology
Pituitary apoplexy is caused by bleeding into pituitary gland.
- Most often, pituitary apoplexy is seen with a pituitary adenoma.
- These adenomas have decreased blood supply, angiogenesis and have fenestrated endothelium surrounded by a variable number of smooth muscle cells, which are not found in normal pituitary gland.[1][2][3]
- In addition, the pituitary adenomas can outgrow their blood supply making them susceptible to bleeding and infarction. The bleeding may lead to increase in intrasellar pressure.
- The increased intrasellar pressure can compress the adjoining structures and lead to clinical symptoms of pituitary apoplexy.[4]
