"Rec. piriformis li. vemindert entfaltet."

German term (edited):
vermindert entfaltet
smaller/narrower
Here is a lovely picture:
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~anatomy/Head-neck/larynx/radiology...
The piriform fossa being a space, I would take "vermindert entfaltet" to mean that it is smaller/narrower on the left than on the right.

Note from asker:
| Thank you, SJLD, for your answer. I used your idea ('narrower') but awarded 2 points to Ellen for the initial idea of [under]development. I am sure it's OK with you :) And yes, a nice picture. Especially because it is from the med school which I attended :) |
