| Rosenmuller's recess | A slitlike depression in the membranous (non-muscular) pharyngeal wall extending posterior to the opening of the auditory (eustachian) tube. Synonym: recessus pharyngeus, recessus infundibuliformis, Rosenmuller's fossa, Rosenmuller's recess. (05 Mar 2000) |

| phrenicomediastinal recess | The recess of the pleural cavity between the diaphragm and the mediastinum. Synonym: recessus phrenicomediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochlear recess | A small depression on the inner wall of the vestibule of the labyrinth at the portion of the pyramid of vestibule, between the two limbs into which the vestibular crest divides posteriorly; it is perforated by foramina giving passage to fibres which the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve sends to the posterior extremity of the cochlear duct. Synonym: recessus cochlearis, Reichert's cochlear recess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pineal recess | A diverticulum from the posterior part of the third ventricle extending back between the posterior commissure and the habenular commissure. Synonym: recessus pinealis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| piriform recess | A recess in the anterolateral wall of the nasopharynx on each side of the vestible of the larynx separated from it by the aryepiglottic folds. Synonym: recessus piriformis, piriform recess, piriform sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumatoenteric recess | Pneumoenteric recess, a recess of the embryonic celom between the right lung bud and the gut; it is normally largely obliterated before birth, leaving only the superior recess of the vestibule of the lesser peritoneal sac as a vestige. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costodiaphragmatic recess | The cleftlike extension of the pleural cavity between the diaphragm and the rib cage; pleural effusions collect here when in the upright position, and since the lung only partially enters, this is the site of thoracocentesis. Synonym: recessus costodiaphragmaticus, phrenicocostal sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costomediastinal recess | The recess of the pleural cavity between the costal cartilages and the mediastinum. Synonym: recessus costomediastinalis, costomediastinal sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pontocerebellar recess | The angle formed at the junction of cerebellum, pons, and medulla. Synonym: pontocerebellar recess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior recess | A deepening of the interpeduncular fossa toward the pons. Synonym: recessus posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior recess of tympanic membrane | A narrow pocket in the tympanic wall between the posterior malleolar fold and the tympanic membrane. Synonym: recessus membranae tympani posterior, Troltsch's pockets, Troltsch's recesses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cupular part of epitympanic recess | The dome-shaped, highest portion of the epitympanic recess. Synonym: pars cupularis recessus epitympanici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sacciform recess | An extension of the cavity of the distal radioulnar articulation proximad between the two bones, an extension of the capsule of the elbow joint at the neck of the radius. Synonym: recessus sacciformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatoenteric recess | A peritoneal recess at the caudal end of the embryonic pneumatoenteric recess; it separates the developing liver and stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatorenal recess | The deep recess of the peritoneal cavity on the right side extending upward between the liver in front and the kidney and suprarenal behind; this is a gravity-dependent portion of the peritoneal cavity when in the supine position; fluids draining from the omental bursa drain here. Synonym: recessus hepatorenalis, hepatorenal pouch, Morison's pouch. (05 Mar 2000) |
