The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of this problem. METHOD: From April 1992 to March 1998, 20 patients with a breast cancer history who complained of dizziness were subjected to a battery of audiological and neurotological testing. If a central lesion was suspected, then brain CT or MRI was performed for confirmation. RESULTS: Eight patients (40%) had hyperlipidemia. Three patients had intracranial tumors, two with metastasis and one with epidermoid cyst at the cerebellopontine angle. Five of 10 patients who received tamoxifen had hearing loss. CONCLUSION: For breast cancer patients with dizziness, three possible causes include hyperlipidemia, the side effects of tamoxifen, and intracranial metastasis.Breast cancer | Dizziness | Hyperlipidemiajournal article2-s2.0-0033489911https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/0033489911
