Hi,
MS is one of the suspected conditions with findings as seen on MRI scan of your son. This needs further detailed evaluation clinically to assess the symptoms and if the fit the diagnosis of MS. There are many other conditions like vascular inefficiencies which need to be ruled out before confirming a diagnosis of MS clinically.
