Pituitary apoplexy is caused by bleeding into pituitary gland.
Most often, it is seen with a pituitary adenoma. These adenoma's have decreased blood supply and angiogenesis as compared to normal pituitary gland. [1][2] In addition, these vessels have fenestrated endothelium surrounded by a variable number of smooth muscle cells, which are not found in normal pituitary gland[3]. The tumor can outgrow their blood supply and it makes them susceptible to bleeding and infarction.
