MS is a clinical: diagnosis, so even a normal appearing brain MRI can't absolutely rule it out. However, typically there are characteristic white matter lesions in the periventricular white matter, not solely the subcortical white matter. So generally speaking, subcortical white matter lesions without periventricular lesions are not the classic pattern seen in MS.
