A 3-year-old girl with mild craniofacial dysmorphosis has profound hearing deficits. Further evaluation indicates profound sensory auditory deficits and vestibular problems. Altered development of which of the following is most likely to account for these observations? (A) Ectodermal placode (B) Intermediate mesoderm (C) Lateral plate mesoderm (D) Neural crest cell (E) Paraxial mesoderm (F) Prochordal mesoderm

The sensory surface placodes are formed from ectoderm. The answer A 'ectodermal placodes' corresponds to the otic, nasal and optic placodes, and is also the only answer that has to do with ectoderm.

I dont like it....but I can see why. They mention senory deficits and vestibular problems, but not conduction deficits. This is a very hard question to research, but it seems as though I have been stumped again. The only other logical answer is neural crest cell.
