• Can brain trauma cause brain lesions to form?

I've been having symptoms of multiple sclerosis, so my doctor performed an MRI. She has found a lesion and I don't know what this means. I also was in a very severe sports injury during which I had brain trauma several years ago. Can brain trauma cause brain lesions to form?

Yes trauma to the head can cause scarring which would be identified on mri scans. That being said, you should have the mri reviewed by a neuro radiologist.
