Yes: White spots seen on imaging, specially MRI Brain / Cervical spine can be seen in various diseases other than MS, such as chronic migraine headaches, high cholesterol levels, underlying DM. Clinical co-relation with symptoms of MS is recommended when such abnormalities are noted on imaging reports. Please visit a Neurologist for a complete clinical exam.
