ON is often the first indication of MS, BUT it is not DEFINITIVE for MS. I can't remember the stat offhand, but I think about 50% with ON eventually prove to have MS.

Your neuro probably wants to (hopefully) rule out a MS dx (for now) ... given that you have lesions and ON (even if the lesions "appear" to be atypical to him). I guess he wants a "specialist's" opinion on this ....
