title: [The anatomic and functional specificity of the superior tarsal Mueller's muscle].
abstract: The anatomic-and-functional specific features of the structure, topography and of spacious architectonics of the superior tarsal muscle were detected and morphologically confirmed within a case study performed on 16 cadaverous fragments of the superior eyelids. The research of functional biomechanics of the superior eyelids made in 220 healthy subjects made it possible to expand the criteria used in evaluating the results of adrenergic stimulation of unstriped muscles, which must be considered as prognostic criteria in surgical treatment; an appropriate morphometric substantiation is suggested.
