Fluid filled sac at the back of tonsils can be tonsil cyst which is collection of fluid in a tonsillar crypt. This can be observed if not causing much symptoms but needs to be surgically removed if causing symptoms most of which are because of pressure/volume effect. The other diagnosis can be cystic lesions in relation to the meninges but are usually very rare and needs to be evaluated by a specialist.
