IntroductionEpiglottitis refers to inflammation of the epiglottis and adjacent supraglottic structures, primarily due to infection [1]. Without treatment, epiglottitis can progress to life-threatening airway obstruction. Historically associated with pediatric populations, particularly causing emergency airway obstruction in young children under the age of 6, the epidemiology of epiglottitis has shifted with the widespread use of conjugate vaccines. In recent years, cases in adults have become increasingly rare, making the presentation of epiglottitis in the adult population an intriguing and uncommon occurrence.
