The vivid temporal construction [past-tense verb]+途端(に), meaning 'the moment X / as soon as X / the instant X.' Emphasizes suddenness, often surprise: 開けた途端、猫が飛び出した ('the moment I opened it, a cat jumped out'), 弁護士になった途端に古い友達を見向きもしなかった ('the moment she became a lawyer she ignored her old friends'). More narrative-flavored than ~とすぐに. The に suffix is optional. Typically written with kanji 途端.
