If an MRI scan shows five white plackplacque spots on the brain does it necessarily mean multiple sclerosis?

Not conclusively. MRI findings alone are not sufficient to give a definitive diagnosis of MS. Neurological illness should occur twice, in conjunction with two MRIs showing disease processes and careful neurological work ups. I had one instance where I had 5 or 6 little white spots on an MRI, after no diagnoses being conferred I was discharged from my neurologists care. Just a few days ago it started happening again, so maybe I do have MS...
