The quality of breath sounds or voice vibrations that resonate like an empty bottle, heard through a stethoscope as a diagnostic sign.
From Greek 'amphoreus' (amphora/bottle) + 'phony' (sound). Medical terminology combining the image of bottle-like resonance with sound diagnosis.
Amphorophony is one of those incredible medical discoveries where ancient Greeks gave doctors a word that perfectly captures what they hear—a diseased lung literally sounds like blowing across a bottle!
