Yes, occasionally there is a room there, but as often, there is not.

A good thing to do, is if you need some healing (thaty takes time) go to
hat dead end and spend the time searching. Quite often this produces
results.

Also, you could try searching the walls of nearby rooms (visible ones),
especially if a monster just came from that direction.

Good luck.
