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?
