Not at all: There is no relationship of trauma causing ms in any case, ever. Whether certain injuries could worsen ms may be still controversial. The american academy of neurology has a position statement regarding this. www.aan.com.

Two brain scars (MRI). No brain injury or infection. I was told it's not MS. Tumors? I had a partial seizure. Could that have caused the scars?
