This study aims to determine the clinical and morphological features associated with ruptured ACoA compared to non-AcoA aneurysms among Indonesians.Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our center’s aneurysm patient registry from January 2019 to December 2022, and compared the clinical and morphological features between ruptured ACoA aneurysms and ruptured aneurysms elsewhere with univariate and multivariate analyses.Results: Of the 292 patients with 325 ruptured aneurysms, 89 were from ACoA. The mean age of patients was 54.99 years, with female preponderance in the non-ACoA group (non-ACoA: 73.31%, ACoA: 46.07%). On univariate analysis, ages ≥ 60 [ages 60– 69: OR = 0.311 (0.111– 0.869), p= 0.026; ages ≥ 70: OR = 0.215 (0.056– 0.819), p= 0.024], female gender [OR = 0.311 (0.182– 0.533), p< 0.001], and smoking [OR=2.069 (1.036– 4.057), p= 0.022] exhibited significant association with ruptured ACoA aneurysm. On multivariate analysis, only the female gender was independently associated with ruptured ACoA aneurysm (aOR 0.355 [0.436– 1.961], p=0.001).Conclusion: In our study, ruptured ACoA aneurysm was inversely associated with advanced age, female gender, presence of daughter aneurysm, and directly associated with smoking. After multivariate adjustment, the female gender showed an independent association with ruptured ACoA aneurysm.Keywords: ACoA aneurysm, ruptured, morphology, risk factor, Indonesian population
