Unless: the white matter changes are typical of MS(doesn't sound like it) or there are clinical signs of MS, it is highly unlikely that this represents MS.

Possible: If you have clinical abnormalities raising concern, this could be an early sign of MS. Best to see your neurologist and discuss this. Additional testing would involve possibly lumbar puncture, MRI of neck, and blood testing for other causes. Non-specific causes could include prior trauma, smoking, migraine, hypertension.
