Body has an amazing ability self-correct and heal. A good CST can help
facilitate this process. However, even with a hands-on evaluation I
would probably hesitate to say for sure if craniosacral work would be
sufficient to solve this problem without surgical intervention. There are
so many factors involved. The apparent fact that the openings in the dura
matter haven't sealed in 4 years is certainly a concern. CSF leak should
not be ignored. I would not rule out a surgery, for it may be necessary in
this case. Repairing the stucture through the nose (this would be my guess
how the surgeon might go about it) is a delicate procedure; he should get a
second, perhaps a third openion, and have it done, if indeed necessary,
by an experienced professional. Meningitis can be a very serious
complication, way more dangerous than losing a sense of smell. Whatever he
desides about the surgery, l would certainly encourage this man to work with
a craniosacral therapist to re-balance the cranial bones and membrains
and facilitate a release of residue of the emotional aspects of this man's
trauma.

So, will CST help -- yes, most likely. Will it be enough to complitely
remedy the problem -- maybe, it depends of specifics of the case,
willingness to heal on the part of the patient, and the skill and ability of
the therapist. Good luck. Let us know how the case progresses.

Warmly,
