Robust work-up: It could be a number of things and requires further attention. To work it up more fully, you doctor would need to know WHY you had the MRI in the first place. Were you having symptoms? Was their trauma? Is there a genetic disease in the family? One would need to know more specifically what the spots looked like. You may need blood and spinal fluid tests to evaluate for MS.
