Relating to or located above or on top of the larynx (the voice box in your throat).
From Greek 'epi-' (upon, above) + 'larynx' (the voice box) + '-eal' (relating to). A modern medical term describing anatomical position.
The epilaryngeal area is where medical emergencies can happen silently—a swollen epiglottis there can block airflow without any obvious outward signs, which is why doctors take throat complaints so seriously.
