A 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 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.
