The rima vestibuli is a space in the laryngeal cavity. [1]
It is to the vestibular ligaments (vestibular folds once covered with mucous membrane) what the rima glottidis is to the vocal ligaments (vocal folds once covered with mucous membrane) – the space formed when the folds are separated. It can be defined as the space in between the false vocal cords, and allows air to pass through the larynx.
