A member asked:

Could any sort of head injury/brain damage cause multiple sclerosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, trauma does not : Cause ms. Rather it is a disease in those who possess a genetic susceptibility, brought to clinical attention by environmental causes, and this sequence evolves into an autoimmune process. Injury may seem to worsen ms, but this represents an additive damage, not a cause.
