Epiglottitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the epiglottis, the leaf-shaped flap in the throat that covers the windpipe during swallowing. It can cause rapid onset breathing difficulties and a high risk of airway obstruction, requiring urgent medical evaluation. The term combines the Greek epiglottis with -itis, denoting inflammation.
