Continuing to listen, maybe she is saying nystagmus (ny instead of no at the beginning of the word). I will try that and flag it.

I can't tell what this guy is saying! The first sentence...Neck was not stiff....is very clear. Can't tell if a period goes after stiff because then I hear jumbled words something about...to the stagmus...but stagmus isn't a real word.
Looking around there is stuff about stiff neck and nystagmus.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what this guy might be saying. It sound somewhat like the sentence below...what would DB possible be?

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.
