 We report 4 cases of the transient type of geotropic direction-changing positional nystagmus suffering from advanced cancer patients, including gastric cancer, uretal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and acute myelocytic leukemia. The pathophysiological mechanism was thought to be a canalolithiasis with the debris within the horizontal semicircular canal of the affected ear. The long-term bed rest of the cancer patients might be the most possible factor leading to the canalolithiasis. For the treatment of these patients, we performed barbecue rotation and forced prolonged position(FPP). These treatments brought successful outcome in each patient.
