hi i am dr usman
thanks for your query . as a radiology expert let me tell you that ms can have typical as well as atypical symtoms. ct scan is not the imaging modality of choice . it is mri of brain and that too with intravenous contrast to check for active disease. so first of all you didnt mention why your neice being worke dup for ms. if so there are also many blood tests and csf tests available . so just dont relaxx on the symptoms if they are atypical of ms. get an mri done thanks.
