Core Tip	Transmesocolic herniation through a defect in the transverse mesocolon is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction that is easily overlooked before operation. In this patient, contrast-enhanced computed tomography localized an abrupt distal jejunal transition point without signs of ischemia, but the underlying cause was established only during the surgery. Emergency diagnostic laparoscopy on the night of admission allowed the herniated jejunum to be reduced, viability confirmed, and the mesocolic defect closed primarily, avoiding resection. Early exploration and a minimally invasive approach provided diagnosis and definitive treatment in a single procedure.
