👉 Pyothorax is a medical condition that occurs when the bone between the ear and the skull, known as the foramen magnum, becomes compressed or inflamed. This can lead to a number of symptoms including pain in the ears, hearing loss, and pressure on nearby organs such as the brain and neck. The term "pyothorax" comes from the Greek words "pythos," which means "head," and "orthos," meaning "bone."
