The anterior epitympanic recess, also known as the supratubal recess, is a small discrete space in the epitympanum anterior to the malleus. It is separated from the epitympanum proper by the anterior attic bony plate, a.k.a. the cog, which has aits orientation in the coronal orientationanatomical plane.
