AbstractA 30-year-old farmer was bitten by his camel on the left side of the neck. He suffered immediate loss of consciousness but recovered three days later with right-sided hemiplegia and complete aphasia. He bled minimally from the neck. CT scan of the brain and carotid Doppler ultrasonography confirmed left parietal lobe infarction and partial occlusion of the left carotid artery respectively. He was managed conservatively with physiotherapy and low dose aspirin. At six months of follow up, his speech remains slurred but comprehensible and is able to walk with a walking stick.
