Zusammenfassung:In some examples, an implantable medical device (IMD) including a hermetically sealed housing that is configured to enclose internal components. The internal components may include stimulation circuitry, processing circuitry configured to control the stimulation circuitry to deliver electrical stimulation using one or more leads received by the housing, telemetry circuitry, and a rechargeable power source. The IMD may also include a coil configured to at least one of receive energy to recharge the rechargeable power source or receive and/or transmit signals for wireless telemetry with another device, wherein the implantable medical device is configured to mount to a cranium of a patient, and wherein the coil is coiled about an axis that is approximately orthogonal to a major surface of the IMD.
