Correct Answer

A. Putamen

Explanation

The putamen is the most common site of hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage. This is because the putamen is a part of the basal ganglia, which is highly susceptible to damage from high blood pressure. Hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage occurs when there is a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain due to high blood pressure, leading to bleeding and damage in the affected area. The putamen is particularly vulnerable to this type of hemorrhage due to its rich blood supply and high metabolic demands.

This can lead to the thickening of the gastric folds, which can be visualized on a barium meal study. Leiomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that arises from smooth muscle cells, Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease that primarily affects the skin, and Linitis plastica is a subtype of stomach cancer characterized by thickening and rigidity of the stomach wall. None of these conditions are specifically associated with thickened gastric folds on a barium meal.
