I'm researching a list of reasons to be admitted to an asylum in 1864-1889. Currently, I'm looking for the meaning of the term, "Gathering in the Head".

One site google finds says that it is "otorrhoea"--fluid discharge from the ear. Google Ngrams finds one occurrence in the 1830s where the source of the discharge was an egg sized abscess inside and perforating the skull.
